Bay Planning Coalition

Bay Planning Coalition, a non-profit organization based in Oakland, California, is a small organization with 6 employees. The coalition focuses on advocating for a robust industrial economy within the San Francisco Bay watershed while promoting sustainable environmental practices. It was founded by citizens, government representatives, and private industry members concerned about the complexities and inefficiencies within state and federal permitting processes. BPC aims to reduce the negative impacts of unreasonable permit conditions, delays, and overly stringent policies that hinder economic development and essential infrastructure projects. Their efforts are geared towards balancing permitting and planning processes to minimize unnecessary costs, delays, and uncertainties for development projects in the Bay Area. BPC's work involves providing expert guidance and facilitation to stakeholders in navigating the permitting and planning landscape. Their goal is to create a more streamlined and efficient system that supports both economic growth and environmental protection.
