South Chicago permits drop to $242k
South Chicago issued 13 permits in September, down from 28 the month before. Total value fell 86% to $242,000. Nine permits came through the express program, with three renovation jobs and one demolition rounding out the activity. No new business licenses were recorded, and the drop suggests a quieter construction month after August's $1.7 million in permitted work.
