This session shares my conversation with Town of Franklin Building Commissioner Gus Brown. We had our discussion in the Franklin TV & Radio studio on Thursday, July 18, 2024. 

 We talk about 

• His road to the Building Commissioner role
• Inspections department scope and permits
• Key info for residents (on permits, pools, line of sight, etc.)
• Need for smart building to keep growing revenue

The recording runs about 51 minutes, so let’s listen in.
