KENTUCKY, UNITED STATES, October 20, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- With a desire to leverage technology to streamline internal and external processes, officials from the City of Berea, KY, chose to partner with OpenGov, the leader in modern cloud solutions for our cities, for online permitting software.

A historic City known for its deep culture and craftsmanship of the arts, Berea is located just south of Lexington in central Kentucky.

- In just a few easy steps, City staff will have the ability to improve compliance and increase revenue by automating license renewals and public reminders.
- The City is set to be cleaner and safer by allowing customers to submit code enforcement violations online and pay fees online. What’s more, officers will be able to manage their caseload from anywhere using a mobile device.
