Logan Square permits jump to $9.9M, 310% up

Logan Square saw 82 permits in May, up from 20 the month prior. Total permit value hit $9.9 million—a thirty-fold jump from April's $307k. More than half (53) were express permits, a fast-track category for simpler projects. Another 15 covered renovations or alterations. The spike suggests a wave of deferred work finally moving forward, though no new businesses or unusual service requests showed up in the data.
