The Monroe County Commission has authorized hiring a customer service representative to open a satellite permitting intake and issuance office on Big Pine Key.
The goal is to open the office in the next several months in a shared space in the Big Pine Key Branch Library at the Winn-Dixie shopping plaza, dependent on the hiring and training process. The commissioners also authorized hiring other positions to improve permitting services throughout the county.
âThe Lower Keys have needed a permitting office for a long time, and I am pleased to announce we are fulfilling that need by placing an office on Big Pine Key,â said Mayor Michelle Coldiron. âI am equally as excited my fellow board members agreed with the request.â
