Episode 5: Ghost Staff – When the Future Calls and No One Picks Up
Built for Tomorrow
A haunted building department isn’t just a spooky story, it’s a reality for many communities stretched thin by staffing shortages, mounting demands, and budget cuts. In this episode of Built for Tomorrow, host Juliana Hoffman unpacks how cities can outsmart the staffing squeeze before it haunts their growth.
From predictable retirements to sudden development surges and leadership gaps, Juliana explores real-world scenarios where building departments risk becoming bottlenecks—and how municipalities are finding relief through smarter, flexible solutions.
Tune in for practical insights, examples from across the country, and a fresh perspective on how to keep projects moving, residents satisfied, and trust intact. Because the future doesn’t wait—and neither should your community.
