Near North Side permit value jumps to $96 million
Permit filings in the Near North Side dropped slightly to 219, but their total declared value shot up 63% to $96.2 million. Most of that came from express permits (129 filings) and renovation work (46 filings). The data doesn't break out which projects drove the dollar spike. No new business licenses or closures showed up in June's snapshot, and service request counts sat at zero—likely a reporting gap rather than a genuinely silent month.
