2025-05
Edgewater permit value drops 83% to $5.2M
Edgewater logged 46 permits worth $5.2 million in May, down from $31.2 million the month before. Most permits came through the express program (34 of 46), which typically covers smaller-scale work. Six renovation permits and three for elevator equipment rounded out the activity. No new business licenses or closures were recorded.
2026-05
Two new Edgewater businesses, zero permits recorded
Edgewater added two businesses in May: Lakeshore Home Physicians and Andersonville Galleria, both on limited licenses. Everything else went quiet—no permits filed, no 311 requests logged, no crimes reported. The prior month had 16 permits, 451 service requests, and 16 crimes. The zero-across-the-board likely points to a data gap.
