West Town permit value jumps 80% on $18.9M
West Town's construction permits hit $18.9 million in June, up nearly 80% from May's $10.5 million. The neighborhood issued 106 permits, with more than half—55—coming through the express permit program. Renovation and alteration work accounted for another 26 permits, followed by nine new construction permits. The dollar spike suggests at least one major project landed in the queue, though the breakdown doesn't pinpoint it.
