Albany Park permit value drops 95% after February spike
Albany Park's 19 building permits in March totaled just $251,000, down from February's $5.3 million. The drop suggests last month's figure included one or more major projects that didn't repeat. Fifteen of this month's permits came through the express program, with three sign permits and one renovation rounding out the activity. No new businesses opened and service request data wasn't available for the period.
