City In Review: Chicago

Edgewater · 2025-10

Edgewater permit value drops 74% to $1.7M

Edgewater issued 47 permits in October, three fewer than September, but the total value fell sharply—from $6.4 million to $1.7 million. Most of the activity was routine: 33 permits came through the city's express program, which handles small jobs. Seven more covered signage. No new businesses opened, and the month was quiet across service requests and other categories.
