MAYOR’S UPDATES
- Hispanic Advisory Council of Greater Stamford: It was wonderful to attend the monthly meeting of the Hispanic Advisory of Greater Stamford and connect with the many incredible organizations and small businesses dedicated to supporting and uplifting Stamford’s Hispanic community.
- Walk In Permitting Center at Government Center: Last week, I stopped by the official opening of the city’s new walk-in permitting center, located on the 7th floor of the Government Center. This dedicated space is designed to assist residents with permits for residential and minor commercial projects. Since its launch, the center has significantly reduced wait times, reinforcing our commitment to providing efficient and responsive city services. I encourage residents to take advantage of this resource for a streamlined permitting process. To learn more, click here.
