ATCO-Electric-building-12-street-jan-26-2015

Renovations and additions to the ATCO building on 12th Street at the end of the Hy-Grade Industrial park generated a $13.8 million dollar building permit for the Town of Drumheller in 2014. Total building permits issued by the Town in 2014 equal $28,847,741.

 

Building permits in the Town of Drumheller reached a record $28 million dollars in 2014.
    “We had a very good year in building permits,” said Mayor Terry Yemen. “Albeit there was two major ones, but still, they’re part of our community. It was a good year for Drumheller.”
     Just over twenty-one million of the total is for two large projects. The building permit for ATCO Electric’s renovation and addition to their  administration offices and shop on 12 Street at the end of the Hy-Grade Industrial Park  was a $13,800,000 permit.
    The 96-bed housing unit expansion at the Drumheller Penitentiary building permits taken out for work at the penitentiary in 2014 equalled $7.5 million dollars. Read the complete story in the January 28 edition of The Drumheller Mail.
