Humboldt Park permit work jumps to $1.5 million
Forty-four permits pulled in May, quadruple April's count, with total value hitting $1.5 million—up more than 800% from the month prior. Most of that came through the express permit program (23 permits) and renovation work (16). The spike doesn't line up with any new business filings or other obvious catalyst in the data.
