The City of Centralia issued $6.1-million in building permits in June.
The large projects include the $2.5-million addition of the multi-purpose room at Schiller School at 800 West 4th Street that is now underway.
Parker Timmons through JW Hubbard Properties LLC is getting ready to begin construction on two new lab buildings on West McCord between Penco and James Street. One lab will be for testing the quality of cannabis products. The other will provide the work Timmons now does on soil and water from a building on Route 161 east of Centralia. The estimated cost of each building is $1.2-million. Each will be just over 9,000 square feet in size.
The permits also include a half-million-dollar project to build two more rows of mini-storage units at 635 Aaron Parkway near other storage units at that location.
A permit was also approved for a $600,000 new home in the 2400 block of Meadow Lane.
In all 19-permits were issued. Other buildings include a $45,000 permit for a pole barn Brad Sanders on Ullman Road. A $17,000 permit was approved to locate a mobile home at 834 East Kerr. A new shed was approved for Jerry Kapes in the 1900 block of Shook Lane. The other permits were for additions, fences, and fence replacements.
