Atlanta seeks up to $1.5 million for automated building-permit demonstration

An ordinance on Atlanta City Council’s Sept. 21 agenda proposed retroactively authorizing and ratifying the city’s application for up to $1.5 million from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The requested money would be used for an automated building-code permitting systems demonstration on behalf of the Atlanta Department of City Planning.

The first-reading item is marked for referral to the Community Development/Human Services Committee. The agenda establishes neither a grant award nor a system in use.
