State Del. Joe Vogel is championing legislation to expedite permit processes for business owners in Maryland who are facing frustrating delays. Business owner Daniel DiGiacomo emphasized the financial impact of these delays, noting that they can result in significant revenue loss. Vogel introduced House Bill 1038, which would establish a complaint portal for reporting delays in permit processing. Economist Anirban Basu highlighted the broader economic implications of these delays, estimating that they lead to billions of dollars in lost investment and thousands of jobs. DiGiacomo shared his frustration, mentioning his decision to invest in other markets due to inefficiencies in Maryland. A hearing on House Bill 1038 is scheduled for February 25 in the Economic Matters Committee. Vogel believes that government should support business growth and success to promote economic development in Maryland. If you have a news tip, contact Keith Daniels at kdaniels@sbgtv.com.
