Douglas permit value jumps to $7.8M
Douglas logged $7.8 million in permits during August, up from $238k the month before. Six of the eleven permits came through the city's express program, with another four for renovations. The surge suggests a large project or two hit the books, though permit counts held steady year-over-year. No new business licenses appeared in the data, and service request tallies weren't available for the month.
