## Construction Permit Aruba Application Process Goes Digital
ORANJESTAD (AAN) – Parliamentarian Eduard Pieters of the PPA party has commented on the digitization efforts at the Department of Public Works (DOW). The department has begun implementing a digital system for construction permit Aruba applications, a move welcomed by the parliamentarian.
### Long Wait Times for Construction Permit Aruba
However, Pieters highlighted that the waiting time for permit approvals remains a concern. He noted that complex projects can currently take up to nine months to receive a response, a period he considers excessively long. Incomplete applications that require resubmission further contribute to these delays.
### Tracking Construction Permit Aruba Status
While supporting the digitalization of the submission process, Pieters emphasized the need to address the actual processing time. He questioned whether measures are being taken to improve the workflow and speed up approvals. Additionally, the parliamentarian inquired if DOW plans to introduce a website or application that would allow applicants to track their construction permit Aruba status in real-time. According to Pieters, officials have acknowledged these questions and understand the urgency of reducing wait times for contractors.
