"Everything is going great. I have a great staff here, we're working hard to refine the way we operate to be efficient as possible, and to offer great customer service to the folks that we serve," said Development Services Director, Mike Haynes.
In the years ahead, the department hopes to make the permit process easier for builders, contractors and other Missoula residents.
