The number of multi-family construction permits issued so far this year is at a nine year high, but that doesn't mean there's going to be a building . The Pikes Peak Regional Building Department has issued 18 permits for developers to construct 407 multi-family units so far this year, the highest number of units approved annually since 2002.
[Yo-Yo Ma]'s passion obviously lies in world music: In addition to the Silk Roads Project he earned a 2003 Grammy for Obrigado Brasil (Sony), his collaboration with top Latin artists such as Sergio and Odair Assad, Egberto Gismonti, Paquito D'Rivera and Cesar Camargo Mariano. Yet at the Civic Center he seemed overjoyed to play [Edward Elgar]'s evergreen work. While English composers have a reputation for writing music that is emotionally conservative, Elgar's cello concerto treads a fine line of being English and being a very personal account of tragedy and love. You can hear the turmoil of the end of World War I in the regal chords that march forward in the first movement, to the tender love for Elgar's wife Alice, which resonates in the second movement, where the third movement revisi...
Hurricane Katrina's devastating hit Aug 29, 2005 brought a sharp drop in economic activity, and destroyed a significant portion of the Coast's capital stock. However, it will also generate unprecedented construction activity on the coast as billions of dollars worth of housing, commercial property and infrastructure are replaced and repaired. As 2005 draws to a close, recovery efforts are focused on debris removal and clean up, provision of assistance and services to Coast residents, resolution of insurance claims, and reconstruction planning. Federal funds and insurance payments, in addition to private and local government spending, are financing the recovery, which is expected to cost over $20 billion. Employment figures show a 4.9% drop in payroll employment in Mississippi between Au...
Steve Herigon developed some of the city's largest subdivisions during the past 15 years, populating north Columbia with modestly priced starter homes and duplexes. But Herigon and his business got caught with too much debt and not enough demand for new homes. Jason Tyler/Tribune
Can crude palm oil prices hold? SINCE early February 2011, crude palm oil (CPO) prices have been declining fast from their peak of approximately RM3,950/tonne to approximately RM3,000/tonne currently (see price chart), sending some concerns down the industry. In tandem with that, the year-to- date (YTD) performance of most of the plantation stocks have also under-performed the benchmark index of FBMKLCI by a considerable margin (see table). Given the weaker prices, it probably is not surprising that plantation stocks have not been in favour recently, says local research house Kenanga Research.
Larry Beahan of Buffalo and Mike White of Steuben County live 130 miles away from each other, and their views on fracking seem at least that far apart. Yet, strangely, the Buffalo environmentalist and the Southern Tier property owner are equally pessimistic about what once was seen as a likely natural gas boom in the Southern Tier to match one that has transformed northern Pennsylvania.
The world's infrastructure will change dramatically in the decade ahead as a result of trends already in place, such as industrialization and rapid urban migration, as well as the need to reduce carbon emissions to head off an environmental disaster. An infrastructure-spending boom will be focused on emerging markets, especially those in Asia, where an expanding middle class is demanding a rising standard of living. According to a 2009 CC/LA Infrastructure report, estimated annual global infrastructure investment in 2030 would exceed $3 trillion, up from $1.2 trillion in 2010. The project finance market is going through a tumultuous period, but pension funds and other long-term investors are seeking new ways to tap into the reliable cash flows offered by well-thoughtout projects. As lon...
By the end of the 19th century, new railroads, tunnels, roads and streetcars had opened up areas beyond Pittsburgh to development and the expansion of farming, coal mining and industry. This year, several Western Pennsylvania communities born from the transportation boom are celebrating milestone anniversaries of their founding. In October, Hampton will hold its final sesquicentennial celebration during the annual community day at its Depreciation Lands Museum, said township Manager Christopher Lochner.
SAN DIEGO - We're becoming a nation of bum knees, worn-out hips and sore shoulders, and it's not just the Medicare set. Baby boomer bones and joints also are taking a pounding, spawning a boom in operations to fix them. Knee replacement surgeries have doubled during the last decade and more than tripled in the 45-to-64 age group, new research shows. Hips are trending that way, too.
