Permitting Challenges to Infrastructure Development
The federal permitting process can be overly burdensome and costly, with critical infrastructure projects often taking a decade or more to permit. As Congress looks to invest billions of taxpayer dollars to improve infrastructure across the country, the first hurdle to overcome is inefficiencies and uncertainties within the permitting process.
