One-stop center for permitting established

On the campaign trail, Bob Buckhorn promised to create a one-stop licensing center, and as mayor he has engineered a major consolidation of permitting functions in one place and an upgrade to permitting technology.

While licensing and permitting are not the same things, in an interview with PolitiFact Florida on Feb. 26, 2013, Buckhorn said, "I've done what I meant to do.”

"The permitting process was the one that was broken, the one that needed to be fixed,” Buckhorn said.

The reorganization of the Construction Services Center and permitting functions are significant, as is the city's acquisition of Accela Automation permitting software. Buckhorn's promise laid out the goal in slightly different terms, so we rate this as a Compromise.
