Significant reforms to the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) to support infill housing were included in the 2027 fiscal year budget — a major win for building the housing we need in Westchester County and throughout New York State.

Join Regional Plan Association, Welcome Home Westchester and Open New York for a panel discussion about what the modernization of SEQRA entails and how it will affect building proposals locally, including:

• How the SEQRA changes specifically affect Westchester County municipalities and those who want to build here
• The shortening of the overall review process with a new two-year ​“shot clock”
• Identifying exemptions for proposals on previously disturbed land and projects of varying sizes
• The importance of exemptions for beneficial projects that include green elements

The webinar will include time for a Q&A with the panelists.

Panelists:

• Tim Foley | CEO and EVP of Building and Realty Institute
• Kirsten Bladh | Policy Manager, Open New York
• Joshua Berman | Campaigns Manager, RPA
