Calumet Heights permit value drops to $202k
Calumet Heights logged 14 permits in June, up from 11 the month before, but total value fell 26% to about $202,000. Twelve of those permits came through the express program—quick turnarounds for smaller jobs. The neighborhood didn't add or lose any businesses, and the reporting payload shows zeroes across service requests, crime, and food inspections. A quiet month on most fronts.
