West Town permit value jumps to $30.7 million
West Town pulled 93 permits in May, down 18% from April, but their total value shot up 318% to $30.7 million. Nearly half were express permits (45), followed by 23 renovation or alteration jobs. New construction accounted for eight permits. The spike in dollar value suggests at least one major project hit the books, though permit counts dropped.
