Jefferson Park pulls 30 permits, 17 via express program
Jefferson Park issued 30 permits in July, up from 22 the month before. More than half—17—came through the express permit program, which handles smaller jobs. Six were for signs, three for renovations, and three for new construction. Total value came in at $1.5 million, a hair below June's $1.57 million. No new businesses opened and none closed. It was a month of routine work, mostly quick-turnaround stuff.
