The city of Columbus is hoping to make its building process more efficient. The city has establishes a new Building Permit System for construction projects. Officials have had a system in place, but there was no permit form for residents to fill out to help the city log structure sites. As a result, utility workers would sometimes be blocked from getting to underground wires or pipes. “A lot of times we run into people in the past have built something, we’ll have a drainage issue, we’ll have to go in there and clear out that ditch, well come to find out, they’ve built a garage halfway over where we need to alleviate that problem.” Says Jason Daniels, Columbus Police Chief.
