the time you took to go over my plans with me. I
also want to commend you on the staff you have
down at the Division of Building & Permits. All of
the folks I have dealt with were awesome. I always
felt that they cared about my needs. Growing up in
this town and living and working here my whole
life gives me a special connection to Aurora. Now
experiencing first hand, the kind of people that
work in your department really makes me proud to
call Aurora home. Keep up all the good work."
