Douglas pulls 17 permits worth $1.5M in June
Douglas issued 17 permits in June, nearly double the nine from May, but their combined value dropped 70% to $1.5 million. Nine permits came through the express program, four were for signs, and three covered renovations or alterations. One new-construction permit accounted for part of the total. The uptick in permit count alongside a sharp value drop suggests smaller-scale work dominated the month. No businesses opened or closed.
