A new report shows Connecticut is seeing a rise in commercial construction, with annual spending reaching $2.8 billion—up nearly 20% over five years. That equals about $768 per person, yet still ranks the state 46th in per-capita spending and 37th overall nationwide. The industry has rebounded sharply across the country, hitting $740 billion in early 2025, but some states like Connecticut are still lagging behind others in capturing that surge.
