There was no new residential construction and only one major commercial construction permit awarded. Tesla Motors was awarded a permit with a construction cash value of $150,000 for a charging station at 322 Holiday Drive. The station will service high end electrical cars and will be located near Interurban Restaurant.
Jessica Scott, Ardmore building inspector, said Ardmore along with Denton were chosen along the I-35 corridor between Oklahoma City and Dallas for the station.
"They wanted to go along I-35 and they chose Ardmore and we are excited," she said.
