Englewood permit value drops 92% to $267k

Englewood's permit activity fell sharply in May—18 permits totaling $267,000, down from $3.4 million the month before. Most of the work came through the express permit program (12 permits), followed by three renovation projects and two elevator jobs. No new business licenses were issued, and service request data wasn't available for the month.
