Does anybody understand the process once the application leaves our hands? The cop who interviewed me (nice guy in a green town) made it sound like the town gave a thumbs up, and then it was up to the state to give final approval, which is the time consuming part, especially now given recent events and a massive push for permits. So it sounds I can't really follow up with the town since they're waiting on the state. I interviewed on Feb 8, and the check was cashed within a week. I realize it's too early to do anything but wait, but the variation in times posted here makes me wonder how the process works. I had resigned myself to wait through the first week of April before getting itchy, but perhaps it could be sooner?
