The hope for the 2021 legislative session was that bipartisan cooperation could continue on the issue of identifying efficiencies and streamlining the environmental review and permitting process.

The Chamber supports a state permitting and environmental regulatory process that allows for our state to protect our natural environment while fostering economic growth.
