New York City's one-stop permit planner for businesses and developers seeking environmental permits for waterfront construction.

Streamlining the Process 

Waterfront Navigator is a one-stop permitting information center for waterfront developers,  providing a centralized source of information to help streamline the process of obtaining state and federal permits. Businesses doing construction, repairs, and maintenance along New York City’s waterfront face a confusing permitting process that requires the approval of multiple City, State, and federal agencies.
