City of Aspen hosts permitting mix n’ mingle
Aspen, CO – The city of Aspen invites community members to connect with city permitting staff at a permitting mix n’ mingle on Wednesday, Jan. 28, from 12 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the Dunaway Room at the Pitkin County Library, 120 N. Mill St.
The city of Aspen issues hundreds of permits each year for projects ranging from home renovations and business improvements to infrastructure upgrades and special events. This event is designed to help people better understand the permitting process, build relationships with city staff, and create a welcoming space for questions and conversation.
Attendees will have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with permitting staff from multiple city departments, including building, planning, engineering, utilities, parks, and parking. City staff will be available to explain permitting requirements, share helpful tips, and offer guidance on navigating the process more smoothly.
“We know that permitting can feel overwhelming, and we’ve been taking steps in the last few years to especially help clarify the process,” said Sydney Fallon, city of Aspen development services supervisor. “This event is about highlighting available resources, humanizing the process by putting faces to names, encouraging engagement, and making sure our community feels supported as they take on projects that contribute to Aspen’s vibrancy.”
The permitting mix n’ mingle reflects the city’s ongoing commitment to transparency, accessibility, and customer service. By creating space for open dialogue, the city hopes to reduce confusion, streamline future applications, and foster stronger collaboration with the community. Light refreshments will be provided.
Please RSVP by Monday, Jan. 26 at tally.so/r/7RLPMA.
