Ashburn permit value jumps 1,758% on $8.9M
Ashburn's permit value shot up to $8.9 million in April, an 1,758% jump from March's $479k. The permits themselves dropped from 36 to 29, so one or two big projects are driving the surge. Gee Jay's Wine, Liquor & Bar picked up three licenses (tavern, package goods, tobacco). Crime fell sharply—60 incidents this month versus 144 last month, with violent offenses down from 54 to 24. Pothole complaints led the 311 board at 209, followed by 141 garbage cart requests. Overall, a quiet month on the business front but not on the construction ledger.
