Bipartisan Permitting Reform Would Unlock Domestic Investment and Infrastructure Projects

Graphic: 650+ major infrastructure projects are stuck in the federal permitting process across America.

The federal permitting system for major infrastructure projects is overly complex and time-consuming, delaying critical investments and weakening U.S. competitiveness.

Modernizing the federal permitting process would unlock domestic investment, speed up project delivery and strengthen long-term economic growth.

A more efficient, predictable and durable permitting system would help:

Accelerate $1.7–2.4 trillion in GDP growth.

Power 38–54 million homes.

Support millions of good-paying jobs across sectors nationwide.

Strengthen U.S. leadership in energy, technology and manufacturing.

Congress and the Administration have taken important steps to improve the permitting process, but additional action is needed to provide the certainty businesses require to plan, invest and build.
