Humboldt Park permit value jumps to $31.2 million

Permit value in Humboldt Park shot up nearly 400% in December, hitting $31.2 million compared to $6.3 million the month before. The 34 permits pulled included 19 through the express program, plus 10 renovation or alteration jobs and four new construction permits. The actual permit count dropped 17%, but that single new construction spike likely explains the surge in total value.
