In a speech at the National Association of Home Builders’ International Builders’ Show, Secretary Carson said, “we are looking into ways that would incentivize local officials to cut back on archaic state and local regulatory barriers, such as outmoded zoning and land use restrictions.” Politico’s Katy O’Donnell reports Sec. Carson said, “if we tell a local jurisdiction that the likelihood of them being a recipient of a significant grant is significantly increased if they get rid of the [zoning] barriers, I think there will be a little more attention to that — and that’s what we’re going to be doing.”
