We request that Richmond City Council and Mayor help keep the economic recovery moving by hiring more building inspectors.
A lack of building inspectors is slowing down construction projects and increasing costs.
We ask that the city hire additional inspectors so that we can build a better Richmond.
Contractors and developers are reaching out daily about how the current backlog is stalling their projects and driving up expenses. I am preparing to present this list of names to the City Council to prove that the business community demands immediate action on these hires. Contact your local representative today and tell them that we cannot afford for our growth to remain frozen.

The momentum behind this building inspection funding push is accelerating. Post this link to Facebook and text three friends who work in construction to keep the pressure on the City Council.

My contractor says he can't get anyone to show up for the final inspection. This is ridiculous.

Hire more inspectors so we can keep people working. Projects are losing money every day they sit idle.
