Morgan Park permit value drops 96% to $1.1M
Morgan Park logged $1.1 million in permit work in June, down sharply from May's $31 million. Most of the month's 18 permits came through the express program—15 of them—with single entries for a sign, new construction, and elevator equipment. No new businesses opened or closed. The prior month's surge was likely driven by one or two large projects that didn't repeat.
