Logan Square permits drop 27%, total value halves
Logan Square issued 54 permits in December, down from 74 the month before. The total value fell even harder—$10.3 million versus November's $21.3 million, a 52% drop. Express permits led the way with 22, followed by 20 renovation-or-alteration jobs. No new businesses opened or closed in the data. Whether this is a holiday slowdown or something else isn't clear from the numbers.
