Governor Vows Infrastructure Investment to Reach California Climate Goals

The Chamber supports Governor Gavin Newsom’s proposal that addresses the critical need for infrastructure to reach climate goals. This proposal would make it easier to build transportation, clean energy, and water infrastructure in California. Over the next decade, California will invest $180 billion in clean infrastructure, which would create approximately 400,000 jobs. This proposal acknowledges the significant challenges in permitting and construction of critical energy projects, without jeopardizing the environment, jobs, and the State’s economy. The Chamber has been supportive of advancing the reasonable implementation and expediting CEQA regulations.
