"Sen. Woodson Bradley's Let Them Build Act aims to eliminate separate state environmental documents when federal or local reviews already meet state standards, streamlining the construction process."
"New York's housing reform, embedded in a $25 billion, five-year Housing Plan, seeks to address environmental review delays that add an estimated $82,000 per unit in New York City."
"Both North Carolina and New York's housing bills share similar goals of cutting duplicative environmental reviews while ensuring local zoning and environmental standards remain intact."
"Bradley's bill requires local housing authorities to create publicly accessible dashboards to track permit review times, agency backlogs, and project approval timelines."
North Carolina House Democrats are advancing housing reform through the Let Them Build Act, aimed at expediting construction by streamlining environmental reviews. This initiative follows similar efforts in New York, where a bill seeks to reform the State Environmental Quality Review Act. Both North Carolina and New York bills focus on reducing duplicative environmental reviews for qualifying residential projects. The North Carolina bill mandates local housing authorities to track permit review times and project approval timelines, while New York's broader plan includes significant investment to address housing delays.
