Solid = actual annualized permits. Dashed = 20-year linear-trend projection; shaded band = ±1 std-dev of historical residuals.
Gradual upward trajectory -- modest but real growth in development activity; an early-stage community-development signal worth watching.
By 2046, the trend projects roughly 470 permits/yr (range 407–532) and about $277.0M/yr in project value. Projection is a directional trend on noisy permit data, not a guarantee.
