Resilient and sustainable infrastructure development requires efficient and transparent processes, particularly in government-led projects where diverse stakeholders are involved. This session explores the practical application of online plan review, editing, and comment systems in streamlining infrastructure planning and permitting within County government operations. These systems enable real-time collaboration among engineers, planners, and regulatory agencies, addressing critical needs for improved communication, reduced project timelines, and enhanced accountability. Drawing from the County of Orange's experience, the session highlights how these digital tools have transformed infrastructure workflows. By integrating centralized platforms for reviewing and managing plans, the County has significantly reduced delays in obtaining stakeholder feedback, facilitated clearer documentation of revisions, and ensured compliance with sustainability and resilience goals. Specific examples include improvements in permitting for roadways and flood control infrastructure, where these tools have supported interdisciplinary coordination and expedited decision-making. Key focus areas include: Using online systems to centralize plan review processes and improve stakeholder engagement. Enhancing transparency in infrastructure permitting through digital tracking and comment management. Leveraging government agency experience to align collaborative tools with resilience and equity goals. Attendees will gain actionable insights into implementing online collaboration tools to streamline development processes while fostering innovation and resilience.
