City of De Soto, KS
ButtonIBTS is serving the City of De Soto with a three-year contract for plan review and onsite inspection services to ensure the safety and code compliance of a Panasonic electric vehicle (EV) battery manufacturing plant being developed there. The $4 billion, 3.5-million square foot plant represents a significant economic win that is expected to create thousands of new jobs in the area once operational. Yet given the size and complexity of the project, it also presented a challenge for the City in meeting the corresponding surge in building code enforcement requirements. IBTS’ staff of onsite inspectors and remote plan reviewers provide the city with the qualifications, expertise, and skill to meet the significant demands of the project, while keeping it on schedule.

City of Central, LA
Read More →IBTS has provided city services to the City of Central, Louisiana for over 10 years. Central, which incorporated as a new city in 2005, originally contracted with East Baton Rouge Parish for City services before moving to a private company for a public-private partnership (P3) service delivery model. In 2011, Central selected IBTS as its nonprofit-public partner (NP3), saving the City hundreds of thousands of dollars each year. Learn more about Central’s journey from incorporation to community success with IBTS.

Municipal Recovery Planning (MRP) Program, Puerto Rico
The MRP Program provides funding to Puerto Rico communities to develop municipal recovery plans (MRPs) to address conditions created, or exacerbated, by Hurricanes Maria and Irma. IBTS worked closely with Municipalities across the Island to develop their highly customized MRP plans by identifying projects, programs, and policies necessary for recovery, as well as opportunities for increasing their funding and capacity for promoting city revitalization, critical infrastructure recovery, economic development, and workforce training. Each completed MRP incorporates principles of resilience, sustainability, and mitigation and provides actions for municipal administrators, community-based organizations, and residents to improve their community’s ability to withstand future climate, natural hazard, and economic crises.
