WILMINGTON — Delaware Governor Matt Meyer has issued a new executive order aimed at accelerating the state’s permitting process, officials announced today.
The directive is designed to remove bureaucratic hurdles that have slowed construction of affordable housing, renewable energy facilities, broadband infrastructure, and public water systems throughout the state.
Meyer’s order specifically targets permits needed for workforce housing developments, sustainable power generation projects, internet expansion efforts, and water treatment facility improvements.
State officials emphasize that the streamlined approach will continue to uphold environmental protections and public safety requirements while reducing delays in the approval process.
The complete text of the executive order is available through the governor’s office.
