Belmont Cragin permit value jumps to $8.6 million
Belmont Cragin logged $8.6 million in construction permits during July, up 470% from June's $1.5 million. The 54 permits included 35 through the express program, nine for signs, and seven for renovations. Three new construction permits also came through. No new business licenses were issued, and the neighborhood didn't register any service requests in the tracking window—a quiet month on that front despite the building activity.
