City In Review: Chicago

Edgewater · 2024-11

Edgewater permit activity drops 58% in November

Edgewater logged 22 permits in November, down from 52 the month before. Permit value fell even harder—from $6.5 million to just over $1 million, an 83% drop. Most of the activity came through the express program (14 permits), with another six for renovations. No new business licenses appeared in the data, and the other metrics sat at zero. A quiet month by recent standards.
