Edison Park permit value drops 57% despite three more jobs

Edison Park pulled 14 permits in June, up from 11 the month before, but the total value fell to $725k—a 57% drop from May's $1.7 million. Eleven of the permits came through the express program, which typically covers smaller-scale work. The neighborhood also saw one wrecking permit, one renovation, and one new construction job. No new businesses opened, none closed, and service requests came in at zero for the second straight month.
