Jay permits total nearly $3.6 million

Largest project was wastewater treatment building

The first two months of the year were relatively quiet in terms of construction. One large project accounted for more than half of the total cost.

An ANR Pipeline Company wastewater treatment building was by far the largest project amongst the building permits Jay/Portland Building and Planning issued in January and February.

The ANR project at 6059 W. Indiana 26 was estimated at a cost of $2 million.

Only four other projects cleared the $100,000 mark during the first two months of the year, with the second largest a $400,000 new home and grain bin for Robert and Carol Dirksen at 751 West 500 North. Other large projects included a $350,000 ground mount solar array for Kraig Homan at 2424 S. 700 West; a $120,000 renovation at the Family First practice at IU Health Jay, 500 W. Votaw St., Portland; and a $100,000 new home for Lynn Boolman in the 1000 block of county road 300 West.
