Ashburn permit count drops 28%, but project value holds
Ashburn pulled 23 permits in December, down from 32 the month before. But the dollar figure barely budged—$503k versus $532k—suggesting fewer projects but similar average size. Eighteen of those permits came through the express program. On the 311 front, graffiti removal requests led the pack at 118, just ahead of garbage cart fixes at 115. Crime ticked down slightly (187 incidents versus 191), and violent offenses stayed flat in the mid-50s. One restaurant failed inspection, half November's count.

Ashburn permit value drops 91% to $285k
Ashburn logged 28 permits in December, same as November, but their total value cratered from $3.1 million to $285,000. Almost all were express permits; just one sign permit broke the pattern. New business licenses fell from 90 to 12. Parkview Food & Liquors picked up package goods, retail food, and tobacco licenses. Trenz Beauty Academy and Southwest Tire Repair Inc. also opened. Service requests jumped 32%—173 were for ice and snow removal, 106 for busted traffic signals. Crime ticked up 8%, with violent offenses rising from 48 to 50.
