A new audit of the Guam State Historic Preservation Office is raising concerns about its operations. 

The Office Of Public Accountability found that the Guam shop current practices do not align with existing laws, and its permit review process faces delays and missing documentation. 

On average, permit applications took twice as long as policy allows, with some projects lingering for months. 

The audit also uncovered instances where officials imposed unauthorized requirements on applicants.

The report recommends updating laws, improving records, and tightening oversight to ensure projects move forward efficiently while preserving Guam's history.
