During the event, special recognition was given to the Department of Development Services team of professional experts - Tom Shrewsbury, Haywood Kines and Alan Lee, who ensured the customer met those timelines. Special thanks also went to the County First Preventers Team that worked behind the scenes - Laura Foltz, Dan Ierley, Leroy Cade, Bill Spicer, Alan Lee, and Mohanned Abdalhameed.
