Anne Arundel County Executive Steve Schuh has signed Executive Order Number 82, reforming land use departments.  The legislation relocates engineers and zoning enforcement personnel and increases empowerment among team leaders to improve the permitting and zoning process.

As a leading civil engineering firm in the Washington Metropolitan Region, Soltesz is well versed in the regulatory challenges and permitting process required for zoning approvals.
