Permitting Coordination Check-in
An event every 4 weeks that begins at 10:00 am on Wednesday, repeating until April 16, 2025
With some difficult news shared last meeting on WA permitting bills, we closed the meeting on 3/5 with a request for a conversation about how to seize this moment in time with respect to permit streamlining for the greater good. Refinements welcome, but here are proposed discussion prompts:
- How to better educate legislature on permitting and how benefits of state streamlining efforts affect budgets
- Planning for 2026 leg session
- Engagement with the Governor’s Office
- Opportunities for Tribes
- Priorities for informational/educational resource development and outreach
- Understanding and socializing new/emerging constraints (local govs, Tribes, state and fed regulators, expert sources).
- Opportunities and concerns regarding federal legislative changes
- Expertise we need to bring in
This is certainly more than we can manage – we could consider chunking this conversation, breakout rooms or similar. Please reach out in advance with input on where you would like to start, or feel free to make edits in Box.
Notes from last meeting here. Please note there is a highlighted update in notes since last meeting on changes to R10 FEMA staff guidance. Please check that out if relevant to you and feel free to offer edits.
