Podcast: Douglasville hosts spotlight community development and housing study
Summary
On the Douglasville Impact Community Podcast, hosts Jason Post and Emily Hardaway interviewed Community Development Director Dana Gray about department services, a new housing study and zoning changes to encourage cottage-style medium-density housing.
Jason Post and Emily Hardaway hosted Dana Gray, Douglasville's Community Development Director, on the Douglasville Impact Community Podcast to describe how the department manages permits, code compliance, building inspections and planning and zoning. "We have 4 divisions — permits, code, and building inspection...planning and zoning," Gray said, outlining the department's role in everyday construction and long-range planning.
Gray explained that permitting and inspections protect residents by ensuring licensed contractors and safe construction before issuing a certificate of occupancy. He said the department also enforces codes through education and ward-based code compliance officers and emphasized the department's availability to answer residents' questions via the city's website. For more information he directed listeners to the Community Development page at douglasvillega.gov.
