Grand Boulevard permit dollars drop 76% to $1.76M

Grand Boulevard pulled 25 permits in July worth $1.76 million, down sharply from June's $7.4 million. Most of the activity came through the express program — 17 of the 25 permits — with another five for renovations or alterations. The drop suggests last month's bigger-ticket projects didn't repeat. No new business licenses, no 311 requests logged for the period.
