Twenty-five permits pulled the same count as November, but their total value shot up nearly twelve-fold to $5.5 million. Express permits led the way with eleven filings, followed by five new-construction permits. The data doesn't break out which project or projects drove the spike. No new business licenses or closures logged for the month.
2025-12
West Ridge permit value nearly doubles to $3M
West Ridge saw permit value jump 95 percent in December, hitting $3.1 million on 36 permits — six more than November. Express permits accounted for twenty of those, with signs and renovations splitting the rest. Service requests dropped six percent, though snow complaints predictably dominated (154 uncleared sidewalk calls, 65 ice-and-snow removal requests). Crime fell thirteen percent overall, violent offenses down twelve. Three food establishments failed inspection, one fewer than the prior month. No new business licenses appeared in the data.
