The Reedy Creek Improvement District is a special district established in 1967 by the Florida State Legislature to manage and provide municipal services for the Walt Disney World Resort. Spanning 25,000 acres in Orange and Osceola Counties, the District is responsible for a wide range of services, including power, water, roads, and fire protection, and manages 134 miles of roadways and 67 miles of waterways and other infrastructure within the special district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the primary reasons for the creation of the District was to provide the necessary infrastructure and resources to support the development of what would become a world-class tourist destination. At the time, the closest water and power lines were 10-15 miles away from the secluded property, and the counties did not have the capacity to support such a massive development. Today, Walt Disney World Resort welcomes millions of visitors each year, generating significant economic prosperity for Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the largest single-site employer in the United States, with more than 75,000 Cast Members and approximately 16,000 Floridians employed across 200 third-party business locations, Walt Disney World Resort has invested tens of billions of dollars in Florida, creating new jobs and thousands of indirect jobs that continue to attract people to the region and generate economic prosperity through increased tax revenue. The District has been instrumental in facilitating this growth and development by maintaining high standards of development and service on Disney property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In recent years, the District has partnered with ePermitHub to implement a digital plan room that seamlessly integrates with their current permitting software. The ePermitHub Digital Plan Room is a purpose-built solution that allows for electronic plan review, collaborative issue resolution, and automated sheet-level versioning. By addressing key business challenges such as bad plan files, document management problems, and inefficient communication, the implementation of the Digital Plan Room has resulted in faster permit turnaround times, improved communication, and a more efficient process overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
