Why is PCL important?
The PCL function is perhaps the most ubiquitous among government services, touching various parts of the day to day lives of residents and businesses— from urban, commercial, and residential development, to recreation, commerce, infrastructure and public utility services — resulting in hundreds of thousands of interactions a year. As an area with so many touchpoints between government and the public, creating frictionless service delivery and customer experiences is a must.
“We can now serve the community by providing a necessary service to residents in a way that is effective and truly a service.”
– Jonathan Lee, GIS Manager, Franklin County Economic Development and Planning
