Lincoln Park permit value nearly doubles to $35.7M
Lincoln Park logged 147 permits in August, up 71% from July, with a combined value of $35.7 million—an 89% jump. Express permits led the way with 80 approvals, followed by 27 sign permits and 22 renovation projects. Eleven new construction permits also came through. The dollar surge suggests a handful of large-scale projects hit the queue, though the payload doesn't break out individual job costs.
