its hands full. Commissioner Katie
Dykes recently wrote in testimony to
legislators that her agency is respon-
sible for over 125 different state and
federally-delegated permitting and
environmental review processes,
and annually receives roughly 2,000
permit applications, which she
described as "incredible volume."
In another example, the Hartford
Business Journal reported last year
about how a prevailing wage require-
ment attached to state incentives was
creating challenges for developers
looking to build affordable housing.
A 2017 law adopted by the state
legislature requires prevailing wages
for laborers on private construc-
tion projects that are supported
with $1 million or more in financial
assistance from the state Depart-
ment of Economic and Community
Development. Developers, on and off
the record, told the HBJ the require-
ment, amid rising interest rates and
construction costs, was making it
harder for affordable housing projects
to pencil out, creating a roadblock to
Gov. Ned Lamont's and lawmakers'
efforts to address the state's
housing shortage.
Some bright spots
Despite those issues, there are
examples of Democratic policymakers
improving the regulatory environment.
Hartford Mayor Arunan Arulam-
palam in January announced his
administration between 2023 and
2024 had cut the average wait time
for a building permit by 57%, from 40
days to 17 days. That's the type of
small step that can give the private
sector more confidence to invest in
the Capital City.
Even DEEP is trying to speed up its
processes. It launched an effort last
year — called the 20BY26 Initiative
— that aims to improve the transpar-
ency, predictability and speed of its
permitting processes.
A bill in the legislature that would
codify some of those improvements
has bipartisan support, including
from the CBIA.
That's a start, but there's plenty of
more work to be done at the state
and local levels.
Connecticut's economic future
depends on it.
