Ohio Manufacturers Urge Congress: Streamline Permits, Boost Investment

11/21/2025

The Ohio Manufacturers’ Association (OMA) urged Congress this week to advance the bipartisan SPEED Act, saying the measure would cut red tape and give industry clearer timelines for major projects. In a letter to the House Natural Resources Committee, the group said the bill aligns federal law with Supreme Court precedent, strengthens judicial review and confirms NEPA’s role as a procedural statute. OMA said the reforms would slash delays, lower costs and help Ohio manufacturers break ground faster, boosting investment and competitiveness. 11/19/2025
