7. Examination of plans

City and applicable parties will review plans for completeness and adherence to municipal codes. If revisions are necessary, the city will coordinate with the developer. (Up to 30-day completion process)

9. Host a groundbreaking

With the permit in hand, we can give your project the pomp and circumstance it deserves. Get in touch with the economic development director.

Following passage of final inspection, the certificate of occupancy will be issued. 

12. Host a Ribbon cutting

It's showtime, its time to open. Work with the Chamber of Commerce to setup a ribbon cutting.
