- Providing and maintaining a safe, fulfilling and enriching environment for staff that encourages open communication and participation.
If your project exceeds 1 acre of land disturbance, is within 200 feet of State waters or creates more than 5,000 sq. ft. of new impervious surface, a Land Development Permit is required.
