    Administrative Support Services

    The model of the last century for filling a planning role in a fast-growing community was to add a staff person.  In the digital age, many growing communities struggle to find and retain competent planning staff.  When an individual is found, a community is limited to the skills of one person, with limited budget left for training, advanced computer systems and valuable tools like mapping.  For special projects, communities are forced to hire consultants, at a high cost and frequently with mixed results.

    For Network Communities with intensive and ongoing planning and zoning administration needs, the Community Growth Institute provides Quality Permitting assistance customized to the community.  There are three levels of Quality Permitting:

    Quality Permitting: Recommended for communities needing professional planning assistance only for high-level planning issues.

    Quality Permitting Plus: Recommended for communities needing professional planning assistance for high-level planning issues in addition to day-to-day assistance with routine zoning matters.

    Quality Permitting Complete: Recommended for communities seeking to professionally address all of their planning and zoning administration needs.
