The bipartisan infrastructure law Sen. Mitt Romney helped craft and pass made significant investments in our core infrastructure that could help Utah’s building and construction industry meet the increased need for housing in our state. However, an inefficient federal permitting process still creates delays that prevent many significant projects in Utah from moving forward, stifling growth in our jobs and housing market and increasing costs for potential homeowners.
Reforming the federal permitting process will help across many sectors of Utah’s economy, including expanding renewable energy projects across the state. This expansion of clean energy will benefit current and future homeowners who are struggling with high utility costs while creating a more sustainable, 21st-century energy grid.
Sen. Romney led out on proposing federal permitting reform in 2022, and should continue his legacy of creating and supporting bipartisan solutions that move Utah forward. I encourage him to lead our federal delegation in taking the next logical step — reforming the federal permitting process that currently keeps vital construction and infrastructure projects in Utah tied up in government red tape, hurting Utah’s economy and Utah’s citizens.

I wonder why we don’t have enough water?
Because the housing monopoly artificially manipulates it. We know
Well, the rich who live in Park City also need a city house in case they don’t feel like driving up after attending an event in Salt Lake. (I saw someone say this but they mentioned that they had 3 properties.) Can someone check tax records?
Maybe we should create a public housing developer to pick up the slack and actually build affordable housing
Sorry, which home needs a Federal Permit?
Not one mention of water, air quality, or transportation costs. Pretty much what you would expect from the construction/real estate business.
