SIDs Expedite the Development Process

The SID mechanism, working through private enterprise, has much less red tape and delay than that of cities or municipalities. One private engineer noted that the engineering design and specifications for a development can occur nine months to one-and-one-half years sooner than could a city’s Public Works Department. Payments to contractors and others can be made in 10 to 15 days, compared to a city’s 60-day average. Many also assert that SID costs overall were as low as or lower than that of a city or municipality.
