Forest Glen permit value jumps nearly $3 million
Eleven permits in Forest Glen pulled $2.97 million in January, up 380% from December's $618k. Most of that came from two new-construction permits and four renovation jobs. The neighborhood logged no new business licenses and none closed. Service requests climbed 38% to 804, led by 126 calls for water lead test kits—a sharp spike from last month.
