2024-06
Douglas permit value jumps 310% to $2.5M
Twelve permits pulled $2.5 million in Douglas in June, a 310% spike from May's $621k, even as permit count dropped from 15 to 12. Half were express permits, the rest split between renovations and new construction. Crime edged up 7% to 291 incidents, though violent offenses held steady at 94. Pothole complaints led service requests at 30, same overall total as last month. One food establishment failed inspection.
2025-06
Douglas pulls 17 permits worth $1.5M in June
Douglas issued 17 permits in June, nearly double the nine from May, but their combined value dropped 70% to $1.5 million. Nine permits came through the express program, four were for signs, and three covered renovations or alterations. One new-construction permit accounted for part of the total. The uptick in permit count alongside a sharp value drop suggests smaller-scale work dominated the month. No businesses opened or closed.
