AUBURN — The city is having a banner year when it comes to investment in the local community by the business community.
The Planning Board’s monthly summary of commercial building permits that have been approved pushed past the $17 million mark for March, with the largest project at Proctor and Gamble’s Tambrands production facility on Hotel Road. An 85,000-square-foot expansion to a warehouse at the facility has been approved, at an estimated construction cost of just over $16 million.
Eric Cousens, the city’s director of planning and permitting, said an additional $16 million is in review. Cousens’ office expects several other high-dollar projects to to be submitted before the fiscal year ends June 30, which he said will almost certainly exceed the city’s previous yearly record of $59 million in permits.
