HARLINGEN, Texas - Building developers, engineers and surveyors say they like what is happening in Harlingen these days.
The City of Harlingen, led by Mayor Norma Sepulveda, has streamlined procedures so that is easier to build in the city, representatives of the building community say.
Before Mayor Sepulveda took office, they say, there was too much bureaucracy and “red tape”.
The changes in procedure came about following a meeting Mayor Sepulveda called with the building community soon after taking office. Consultant Rolando Vela helped put the meeting on.
In this podcast, civil engineer David Flinn gives his view.
