Sugar Land, United States - February 18, 2020 /PressCable/ —
The City of Savannah, GA, has just launched its next-generation enCodePlus-powered website that features easy access to their Code of Ordinances and new Zoning Ordinance.
The fastest-growing company in the municipal planning software industry, enCodePlus, offers what no one else can – a completely integrated, cloud-based code-publishing tool with advanced interactive features and streamlined editing capabilities. It is increasingly becoming the code-publishing platform of choice for cities like Savannah, as well as Las Vegas, NV; Overland Park, KS; Redmond, WA; West Sacramento, CA; and many others.
The City of Savannah’s Challenge
Savannah’s previous code was established in the 1960’s, and their method of codification had become outmoded. Like many municipalities, they spent years updating their code with paper supplements adding to thick binders that became increasingly voluminous with every new addition and version of their code.
The City had put hundreds of hours into developing and adopting their new Zoning Ordinance in late 2019, a major new update of the 1960 ordinance. This monumental effort mandated a new system that would efficiently and effectively support its implementation well into the future. They knew that ultimately, this would save valuable staff time and money, while better serving their community.
The enCodePlus Solution
For more and more technologically savvy communities, enCodePlus represents a whole new way of doing things. It delivers the modern features and capabilities municipalities and their citizens and development applicants demand in an efficient, effective manner.
Like other progressive communities, Savannah recognized the unmatched benefits and advantages of the enCodePlus technology. They embraced the most robust, advanced tool available in zoning management and the code publishing and codification industries.
