The Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council (EFSEC) held its monthly meeting on July 16, 2025, where significant discussions centered around the introduction of a new team member and ongoing improvements to public comment processes.

During the meeting, Nabila Goans was welcomed as the newest member of the EFSEC team. She brings a wealth of experience from her previous roles, including her time as a deputy of operations at the Office of the Insurance Commissioner and managing director for operations at the Department of Commerce. Her background also includes extensive military-related scheduling and contract management, which is expected to enhance EFSEC's operational efficiency.

The council emphasized the importance of improving processes related to public comments, indicating a commitment to fostering greater community engagement and transparency in their operations. This focus aligns with EFSEC's ongoing efforts to streamline procedures and enhance stakeholder involvement.

As the council moves forward, the integration of Goans' expertise is anticipated to play a crucial role in advancing these initiatives and supporting the council's mission in energy facility evaluations.
