Langley Township is experiencing a construction slump, with building permits, fees, and construction values all declining compared to 2025. By July, 1,295 permits were issued, down from 1,531 last year, and total construction value dropped from $740 million to $471 million. Single-family home permits hit a five-year low, while multi-family permits remain above average but below recent years. Commercial and industrial permits are also below average. This trend aligns with a nationwide slowdown in housing construction due to rising costs, weaker demand, and more unsold homes.
