Rogers Park permit value jumps to $7.5M
Rogers Park pulled 29 permits in October worth $7.5 million—up 435% from September's $1.4 million. Most of that volume came through express permits (19 of 29), with another six tagged as renovation or alteration work. One new construction permit landed, along with a single elevator equipment permit. Despite the dollar spike, the total count dropped 15% from the prior month. No new businesses opened, none closed, and the other usual metrics stayed quiet.
