Grand Boulevard permit value drops 73% to $2.1M
Grand Boulevard pulled 23 permits in May, down from 28 the month before, but the bigger story is the dollar figure: $2.1 million, a 73% slide from April's $7.8 million. Most of the activity was small-bore—13 permits came through the express program, typically lower-value work. Seven renovation permits and a single new-construction filing rounded out the month. No new businesses opened, no 311 requests logged.
