What happened

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin visited New River Electrical in Granville, Ohio, a 100% employee-owned American company experiencing rapid growth, according to the EPA. In the agency’s video, Zeldin discussed the visit as part of the Trump EPA’s Powering the Great American Comeback effort, as the EPA presented it.

According to the EPA’s description of the visit, the principles Zeldin advanced were that protecting the environment and growing the economy is not a binary choice, that cooperative federalism should be pursued where common ground can be found with states, and that the agency should adhere to the single best reading of federal statute following the Supreme Court’s Loper Bright ruling.

Why it matters

The Granville stop is a field example of the EPA’s stated governing principles under Zeldin, linking the agency’s regulatory posture to an employee-owned manufacturer’s growth story in this chronicle’s energy and permitting record.
