CPA joined over 50 manufacturing associations this week in a letter to Congress, coordinated by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, in support of the Standardizing Permitting and Expediting Economic Development (SPEED) Act. The bill would streamline federal environmental permitting processes for infrastructure investments, manufacturing facilities, and energy infrastructure projects. If passed, CPA members could see faster, less costly permitting for new or significantly upgraded mill operations. The House approved the bipartisan legislation on December 18 and will send it to the Senate for consideration. See SPEED Act and Group Letter. More Info: Andy O’Hare
