2025-11
East Garfield Park permit value drops 75% despite steady count
East Garfield Park logged 31 permits in November, nearly identical to October's 30, but total value plunged from $9.1 million to $2.2 million. Eighteen permits came through the express program, followed by five renovation-or-alteration jobs. No new businesses opened, none closed. The sharp value drop suggests last month's big-dollar projects didn't repeat.
