Developer Assistance

Whether your project needs state or local government regulatory approval, chances are one of our over 9,700 local active union members or 500 local active contractors has either testified before the governmental entity or body your application is before, is involved in the application/permitting process, or is even sitting on a government approval body deciding the merits of your application.

Therefore, we are in a unique position to assist you through this process and insure that your project gets its:

• Appropriate share of attention from state and local government officials, and
• Fair share of government financial assistance (incentives, financing, tax stabilization, credits, exemptions, or otherwise).

Our effectiveness could not be more prominently illustrated than in the approval process for Providence Place and the recently constructed power plant in Johnston. Our coalition members testified on numerous occasions for approval of both of these projects, which ultimately contributed to both projects getting the through the regulatory approval process and with their fair share of government incentives. Both projects were also built under PLAs.
