The Development Partners Advisory Group joined the private and public sector development interests and created improvements that will ultimately result in cost savings, greater efficiencies, and better working relationships.

The group prepared an implementation strategy to improve the development review process. The composition of the group was intended to involve development-related customers and service providers. Topics included land use zoning, subdivision of property, and building plans review, permitting, and inspections. Both short- and longer-term improvements were addressed.

The group finished its task on August 16, 2005.
Appointment of Group Members
Committee members are appointed by Mayor Bill Haslam.
