Douglas permit value craters from $18.6M to $101k
Douglas logged just $101k in permit value this September, down from $18.6 million the month prior—a 99.5% drop that suggests last month's work was a one-off heavy-construction project. All seven permits this time came through the express program. Service requests fell by a third, led by 34 calls about broken streetlights and 31 for rodent baiting. Crime ticked up slightly (272 incidents vs. 266), with violent offenses rising from 73 to 77. Two food establishments failed inspection, double last month's count. No new businesses opened or closed.
