Morgan Park permit count jumps 62% despite value drop

Morgan Park pulled 26 permits in September, up from 16 the month before, but total value fell 45% to about $596,000. Nearly all the permits—24 of them—came through the express program, suggesting smaller jobs. Service requests dropped 22% to 830, led by 108 calls for tree debris cleanup. Crime barely budged (160 incidents versus 161), and no food inspections failed this month. No new businesses opened or closed.
