Ashburn permit count up 27% on express filings
Ashburn logged 52 permits in May, up from 41 the month before. Fifty of them came through the express program—quick-turnaround stuff like water heaters and minor electrical work. Total permit value dropped to $851k from $1.25 million, though that's typical when routine jobs dominate the queue. One renovation permit and one elevator job rounded out the month. No new businesses opened, none closed, and service requests were quiet.
