Bill to Fast-Track Building Permits Approved
Lawmakers seek balance between efficiency and fair access.
Legislation to create an expedited permitting process for developers was approved by the Committee on Disaster Recovery, Infrastructure and Planning.
The measure, Bill 36-0135, was introduced by Senator Kenneth Gittens, who said the proposal
“stems from the concerns and experiences of several developers and business owners who have faced serious and unjustified delays in the permitting process”.
This marks a significant step toward addressing long-standing delays in the Virgin Islands’ construction approval system.
