The City’s new permitting and licensing software, Enterprise Permitting & Licensing (EPL) is now live.
There are numerous local, regional, state, and federal agencies that play a role in floodplain and stormwater management that are willing to answer your specific questions and provide you with additional information. While each might have its own special interest, (i.e., development, safety, mitigation, etc.) all have a common goal … to increase awareness of the floodplain and the impacts that can occur within and outside of it.
