North Center permits drop 32% but dollar value climbs
North Center issued 32 permits in January, down from 47 the month before. But total permit value edged up 5% to $7.2 million. More than half the permits—18 of 32—were express filings, typically smaller projects with faster approval. Eight were for renovations, three for demolition, and two for new construction. No new businesses opened or closed during the month, and service request data wasn't available.
