Uptown permit value jumps 37% to $6.1 million
Uptown logged $6.1 million in permit value this August, up 37% from July's $4.4 million. Permit count held nearly flat—36 versus 35—but the dollar figure rose sharply. Most of that came through express permits (21 of the 36), with another six for renovations or alterations. Two demolition permits, two new-construction permits, and three sign permits rounded out the month. No new business licenses, no closures, and the rest of the dashboard stayed quiet.
