Indianapolis -- Small businesses soon will be able to receive more guidance on how to receive permits from the city's Department of Code Enforcement.

The department is partnering with Develop Indy to provide more education to businesses about the permitting process.

Mark Fisher, a former executive at The Hagerman Group and The Greater Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, will lead the new initiative. (Star report)
