Hegewisch permit value jumps to $1.4 million

Hegewisch pulled just two permits in November, down from 14 the month before, but their combined value hit $1.4 million—a massive swing from October's $73k. Both were renovation or alteration jobs. No new businesses opened or closed. Service requests dropped 23 percent to 172, led by 22 complaints about street lights out. Crime fell 25 percent to 60 incidents, with violent offenses down by more than half to nine. No food inspections failed.
