Texas Ranks First In Nation With Unfinished Construction

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the road construction all over the Permian Basin and go wow, that's a lot. It is frustrating for some, a headache for others and downright an inconvenience for many of us but what are you going to do? It is a reality in the 432 and we must acclimate unfortunately.

Workers will have really kicked it into high gear on Loop 250, 191, and all over city streets in the Permian. However, there is no state busier than Texas, as we have 4 cities that rank in the top 15 for open projects:

*San Antonio

*Dallas

*Austin

*Houston

In the Midland-Odessa area, you see a lot of it. Half-finished new homes and apartment complexes that have been sitting deserted, surrounded by fencing--scaffolding still in place, with no windows installed yet. Roads closed in Odessa or lanes reduced from 4 to 2. It absolutely means good things for local economies, for workers who work tirelessly and thankless trying to get the task completed. Our new way of life for the time being I guess is a small price to pay for how things will be years ahead with the new changes.
