Hyde Park permit value jumps to $4.7M
Permit value in Hyde Park climbed 54% in July, reaching $4.7 million on 38 permits. Most of the activity ran through the express program—25 permits out of 38—while five covered new construction. The dollar swing suggests at least one sizable project landed, though the data doesn't break out individual values. No new business licenses or closures showed up for the month.
