What we have built in Franklin County
Gosman has 163 buildings on record in Franklin County going back to 2001, which makes it the 16th busiest of the nineteen counties we work. 50 of them have gone up since 2019, so this is current work rather than history. Measured against the five years before it, the last five years here have been growing quickly.
Most of that work sits around Brookville — 59 buildings, 36% of everything we have done in the county. We have also built in West Harrison, Batesville, Laurel, Oldenburg, Metamora and elsewhere.
The most common Franklin County footprint in our records is a 30x40.
