Environmental Planning and Permitting
Our approach is as unique as your project. We shape our scope, team, and strategy to match your goals, site conditions, schedule, and regulatory context. Clients work directly with experienced professionals who stay engaged at every stage and provide responsive, personalized service from the first feasibility discussion to the day the project opens.
GZA has extensive experience guiding public- and private-sector clients through federal, state, and municipal environmental review and permitting requirements. We also support a broad range of other federal, state, and local environmental requirements. Our experience spans commercial and residential development, infrastructure, transportation, waterfront, and other complex projects.
Our “One Company” approach integrates specialists in planning, engineering, environmental science, resiliency, and regulatory compliance, who can proactively solve the issues that the environmental review raises in a practicable, defensible, and implementable way. This streamlines permitting, construction, and operations—saving time and avoiding rework.
Our environmental planning and permitting projects include commercial and residential developments, infrastructure, transportation, waterfront, and other projects throughout the country.
