Land Use

Our clients develop new industrial, commercial, institutional and residential facilities and expand existing facilities. These projects generally require permits and approvals from local boards and often require additional permits or approvals from state and federal agencies including a state's Department of Environmental Conservation, a state Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Our attorneys guide our clients through the approval process by reviewing the project, determining the necessary permits and approvals, completing the necessary applications, navigating through the review process and representing our clients before local boards and state and federal agencies. We also have extensive experience with federal and state environmental impact assessments that are required to be undertaken before project approvals may be issued. Our objective is to make sure our clients obtain the necessary permits quickly and cost effectively.
