Norwood Park logs five new businesses, no permits

Norwood Park picked up five new business licenses in May — Northwestern Cutlery, Midwest Gold Stampers, JM Asphalt Seal Coating, Electrical Dynamics, and Enerlight — even as building permits dropped to zero from eight worth $421k the month prior. No 311 requests came in (down from 500), and no crimes were reported (down from six, three of them violent). The data suggests either a reporting gap or an unusually dormant stretch.
