New in public records, by quarter
Businesses that are open today, counted by the quarter of their earliest dated public record: a new license, registration, filing or permit (1,702 of the 1,937 have one). A first record isn’t always an opening day, and businesses that have since closed aren’t counted, so older quarters read a little lower. Openings and closings →
