Washington, DC – Responding to President Trump’s Updating Permitting Technology for the 21st Century, Avery Ash, Senior Vice President, Government Affairs at SAFE, gave the following statement:
“SAFE applauds the Trump administration’s Presidential Action to update permitting processes for 21st-century infrastructure. This is a welcome and necessary step toward aligning our regulatory framework with the speed and scale of today’s energy and national security needs. For too long, our outdated and slow permitting system has undercut domestic production, delayed critical infrastructure, and weakened supply chain resilience. While addressing the root cause of permitting delays that hamstring our competitiveness will require congressional action, SAFE looks forward to continuing to work with the legislative and executive branches to build on this momentum and ensure the United States can rapidly deploy the energy, industrial, and transportation projects our economy and security demand.”
