President Donald Trump visited Hapeville today to roll out major changes to a 50-year-old federal environmental law with the goal of speeding up infrastructure development. It’s his ninth visit to the state since taking office. 

At a UPS hub near Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport Trump said that environmental reviews under the National Environmental Policy Act take too long and delay construction.
