Expedited Permitting

Through our Development Application Review Team (DART), we assemble the vital staff members you need for your project. This allows for an immediate review of your proposal with prompt feedback right at the table. DART evaluates all development applications and Site Plan Control Agreements, helping move your project forward quickly while meeting project timelines.
