Building returns to normal in Weld, Larimer counties

Business Report Correspondent
It’s been a hectic few years for the building industry in Northern Colorado, but the home-building industry appears to be poised to catch its breath.Starting in 1993, Northern Colorado saw an explosion in the building industry due to growth from people moving to Colorado from other states for better jobs and a lower cost of living.
That surge in growth lasted through 1996, but now there are signs that housing construction has peaked and is beginning to drop or — as some builders say —return to normal.
