June 30, 2025 - Harrisburg, PA
The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) will formally begin accepting applications for the Streamlining Permits for Economic Expansion and Development (SPEED) program beginning today, Monday June 30, 2025, for a common construction permit. This new initiative builds on the Shapiro Administration's work to reform the Commonwealth's permitting, licensing, and certification processes."For the past few years, DEP has looked for new ways to improve our services, while still protecting Pennsylvania's beautiful environment, and SPEED is another tool for us to do both," said DEP Acting Secretary Jessica Shirley. "Like an amusement park fast pass, SPEED gives permit applicants the choice to skip the permit line and have their project first reviewed by a qualified professional contracted through the Department and paid for by the applicant."More information on the SPEED program can be found on the DEP website.Speakers Include:DEP Secretary Jessica ShirleySenator Kristin Phillips-HillSenator Greg RothmanRep.
