North Lawndale permit value drops 89% to $4.1M
North Lawndale issued 46 permits in November, same as October, but their total value fell from $38.2 million to $4.1 million—an 89% drop. Express permits led the way with 20, followed by 13 renovation jobs and 8 sign permits. Two new construction permits accounted for some of the month's spending, though the mix suggests smaller-scale work compared to whatever drove October's big number. No new businesses opened or closed on record.
