Elaine Chao: Slow permitting process blocking private sector investments

The Trump administration's proposal aims to spend $200 billion in federal funding to spur a total of $1.5 trillion in infrastructure investment, with states, localities and private industry covering the difference. "While there is a great deal of enthusiasm from the private sector to participate, one of the hurdles they face is the lack of ready projects," Chao said. "If the permitting process can be sped up, it will allow more projects to be available for the private sector to invest."
