West Pullman pulls 32 express permits

West Pullman issued 43 permits in May, up from 34 the month before. Thirty-two were express permits — the fast-track kind for smaller jobs. Nine wrecking or demolition permits also came through. Total dollar value held roughly flat at $986k, down 2% from April's million. No new business licenses, no 311 requests logged in the dataset. A month of quiet paperwork.
