Projects in Sensitive Environments
Jones Fortuna advises project developers working in environmentally sensitive and regulated areas. We help clients permit, build, and defend projects while navigating the complex intersection of environmental laws and land use.
Our team has extensive experience with the Endangered Species Act (ESA), National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), as well as water and wetlands permitting under the Clean Water Act. Whether your project is facing heightened scrutiny or unique environmental constraints, we deliver clear guidance and effective strategies to keep it on track.
