This COVID-related by product <br />has impacted logistics, retail industries, our way of life, and local government. Today, in Miami-Dade and Broward <br />Counties, there are dozens of municipal planning positions vacant, and that number grows monthly leaving some <br />cities with almost no staff. This comes at an inopportune time as development applications, regular city workloads, <br />and planning analysis for all manner of project are on the rise. Competition for talent is heated. <br />What can be done? One practical approach is to reach out to the consultant community to assist in providing these <br />services. Think of the advantages: hourly staff, managed by long-time industry professionals skilled in aspects of <br />municipal government. Consultant personnel work when you need them. No need for sick time, benefits, or any of <br />the hands-on management you face with full-time staff. <br />Who should you hire? The Corradino Group of course.
