City In Review: Chicago

Dunning · 2024-10

Dunning permit value doubles on 31 express permits

Dunning logged $662k in construction permits in October, more than double September's $309k. The jump came from volume—33 permits versus 25 the month prior—with 31 of those filed through the city's express program. One sign permit and one renovation rounded out the list. No new businesses opened, none closed, and the rest of the data came back flat.
