Kenwood permit value drops 93% after $22M March
Kenwood issued 15 permits in April, up from 10 the month before, but total value collapsed from $22.8 million to $1.55 million—a 93% drop. March's figure was almost certainly driven by one or two big jobs that didn't repeat. Thirteen of April's permits came through the express program, with two renovation permits rounding out the set. No new businesses opened, none closed, and service requests were zero.
