    How do you guys think Trump's EPA appointee, Lee Zeldin, will affect environmental permitting over the next four years? I'm hopeful that he'll cut out some of the red tape that's rife in the industry. What about you?

    Just for fun, which types of permits do you think had to be pulled for the 2024 Olympics in Paris? I've noticed there are several food vendors about; I'd say each vendor needed various food safety permits.

    Getting a liquor license

    Is it just me, or is it extremely difficult for a business to obtain a liquor license for on-site consumption? It seems like the smallest thing causes the permit to be denied. What do you think hangs most people up when applying for such a license?

    Permit fees increasing

    I received a notification last week that all building and planning permit fees in the surrounding counties were going up by $2 to $4. The fee increase is meant to assist with code enforcement, hire inspectors, staff the department, and provide ongoing training. I'm not fond of having to pay...

    Confined space entry permit needed?

    Will you guys help me determine whether I need to apply for a confined space entry permit? I'll be making repairs in an empty corn silo. I'm leaning towards no, since it'll be an empty space, but I'm not entirely certain. This work will take place in Georgia.

    Do multi-tiered permits keep roads safer?
