Brownfields: What Will it Take to Turn Lost Opportunities Into America's Gain
House Committee on Government Reform Subcommittee on Federalism and the Census
House Committee on Government Reform
Subcommittee on Federalism and the Census
Abstract
The House Committee on Government Reform investigated brownfields sites, numbering between 450,000 to 1 million nationwide, primarily located in urban areas, presenting opportunities for economic development if redeveloped. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Brownfields Program, established in 2002, funds the redevelopment of contaminated sites to promote economic revitalization and environmental safeguards. Chaired by Representative Michael R. Turner, the Subcommittee on Federalism and the Census conducted hearings to assess the state of brownfields redevelopment, the impact of federal and state programs, and potential actions for more aggressive remediation and redevelopment efforts.
