Jan. 16, 1975 Area builders pleased with year’s activity As far as Cottage Grove’s builders are concerned, 1974 was a “good year,” and they aren’t surprised that the total dollar volume fi gure for con- struction in the city reached the $1.7 million mark. G.R. “Bud” Wright, an in- dependent builder, voiced the opinion of area builders Tues- day night when he summed up his own situation during 1974. “I stayed busy all year long,” he said. “I’m fi ve or six houses be- hind right now.” Carl Rich, owner of Cottage Grove Construction Company, agreed, with one condition. “Generally speaking, building locally was good but primar- ily in residentials,” he said. “ I don’t think the commercial end was as strong as it has been in the past.” Mr. Rich said his fi rm, which specializes in commercial work, did more residential work than usual during the past 12 months. The local builder said he thought high prices and high interest costs were factors in the com- mercial lull. Clifford Herman, building un- der the name Herman and Sons, was less enthusiastic than other builders but reported no prob- lems. “It was an average year,” he said. “There wasn’t anything special about it.” Mr. Herman noted that the “average person” isn’t able to purchase a house anymore be- cause of the high interest costs.
