Successful project development in Washington requires a
thorough knowledge of local, state and federal permitting
requirements.
And, with the economic stimulus package focusing on
energy and other infrastructure projects, the topic of project
permitting has never been more timely. This seminar brings
the latest information on the Governor’s initiatives in
project permitting as well as panels focusing on energy and
infrastructure permitting.
Our knowledgeable and experienced faculty will give you the
tools you need for your big and small permitting projects.
