Garfield Ridge permit count jumps, dollar value drops by half

Garfield Ridge logged 49 permits in October, up from 39 the month before, but total value fell 48% to $1.6 million. Most of the activity—41 permits—came through the express program, suggesting smaller-scale work. Six renovation permits and two new construction rounds out the mix. No new businesses opened, none closed, and the other usual metrics are all zeroes this month.
