Greater Grand Crossing · 2025-03
Greater Grand Crossing permit value jumps 247% to $3.1M
Thirty-three permits pulled $3.1 million in declared work in March, up from $906k the month before—a 247 percent spike. Most of that came through the express-permit program (23 permits), with another nine for renovations or alterations. Service requests rose 42 percent to 1,223, driven partly by 119 calls about tree trimming, a category the city no longer accepts. Street lights out and garbage cart issues rounded out the top complaints. Violent crime climbed 16 percent to 179 incidents; overall crime was up 8 percent. No new business licenses or closures showed up in the data.
