City of Rockville Annual Permitting Stakeholders' Forum

Mark your calendars and RSVP now! City of Rockville Department of Planning & Development Services is hosting the Annual Permitting Stakeholders' forum Wednesday March 13 at City of Rockville Mayor & Council chambers from 8:30 – 11:30.

For those having attended previous forums, this is an excellent platform and opportunity gain great insight on new regulation, policy and procedure that could have a significant impact on your job. We host these in great part because we want to share valuable information to help you successfully navigate the permitting process from application submission through issuance of occupancy permits. We also want you to get the opportunity to see and know the key players involved (not just by email) so that we can be accessible and better able to serve you when you come through with your project(s). Lastly, we truly appreciate the feedback provided from attendees and do take that information to see how we can make any improvements. This is all in the spirit of outreach and transparency and partnership.
