新泽西州全州州长谢里尔10月28日公开州许可仪表盘试点：环保部湿地积压降74%、交通部小进路许可积压降83%
新泽西州全州范围内，州长米基·谢里尔10月28日向公众推出了新泽西许可仪表盘试点，居民可在 Permits.NJ.gov 上查看项目如何通过州审查。该仪表盘的推出凸显了本届政府削减许可延误的进展，谢里尔在竞选州长时曾承诺加快审查、降低成本。自今年1月以来，环境保护部的淡水湿地解释函积压减少了74%，交通部的小型进路许可积压减少了83%，其中包括解决了523个停滞许可。环保部的修复行动许可积压减少了25%，交通部的大型进路许可积压减少了19%。谢里尔说，许可缓慢意味着每个人的成本更高，从等待新房的家庭到准备雇人的企业都是如此。州政府机构已重组许可办公室并组建突击队加强协作，环保部与新泽西创新局正在将仪表盘自动化，以便未来几个月纳入更多项目。
New Jersey Governor Sherrill Unveils Permitting Dashboard Pilot on October 28: DEP Wetlands Backlog Down 74%, DOT Minor Access Permit Backlog Down 83%
New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill on October 28 unveiled the New Jersey Permitting Dashboard Pilot to the public, allowing residents to see how projects move through state review at Permits.NJ.gov. The dashboard's debut highlighted the administration's progress in cutting permitting delays; Sherrill had vowed during her campaign for governor to deliver faster reviews and reduce costs. Since January, the Department of Environmental Protection has reduced its Freshwater Wetlands Letter of Interpretation backlog by 74%, while the Department of Transportation has cut its Minor Access Permit backlog by 83%, including by resolving 523 stalled permits. DEP has also reduced its Remedial Action Permit backlog by 25%, and DOT has cut its Major Access Permit backlog by 19%. Sherrill said slow permits mean higher costs for everyone, from families waiting on new homes to businesses ready to hire. State agencies have reorganized their permitting offices and created strike teams to increase collaboration, and DEP and the New Jersey Innovation Authority are automating the dashboard so significantly more projects can be added in the coming months.
