FOIA Request to City of Warsaw Regarding New and Active Residential and Commercial Building Permits on October 30, 2024.
As part of our ongoing commitment to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at West Central Reporter have sent a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the City of Warsaw. The request, dated October 30, 2024, seeks detailed information about all new residential and commercial building permits issued from January 1, 2023, till the present date.
The specific details requested include the type of permit, date issued, fee paid, requester's name, address of the property in question, and the contractor's name. This data will help us provide our readers with a clearer picture of construction trends in the area.
In addition to this, we also requested information about all active residential and commercial building permits currently in effect within the city. The same details as above were requested for these active permits as well.
Access to public records is essential for us at West Central Reporter to fulfill our professional responsibilities. These responsibilities include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. We believe that as media professionals involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, we are eligible for a fee waiver under FOIA guidelines.
We look forward to receiving this information from the City of Warsaw so that we can continue our work informing the public about important local issues.
