Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ) and Environment and Climate Change Subcommittee Chairman Paul Tonko (D-NY) announced today that the Environment and Climate Change Subcommittee will hold a fully remote hearing on the Brownfields Program on Tuesday, February 15, at 11:30 a.m. (EST). The hearing is entitled, “Back from the Brink: Restoring Brownfield Sites to Economic Engines.”
“Every district across the country has a brownfield site in need of cleanup, which is why we fought hard to ensure the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law included the resources our communities need to restore contaminated land to productive use,” said Pallone and Tonko. “These cleanup efforts protect public health and economically revitalize our communities by making land safe and usable again, creating local jobs in the process. We look forward to discussing the impact this critical program has on communities all around the nation, as well as what must be done to ensure continued investments and cleanups in the future.”
This hearing will be conducted remotely via Cisco Webex video conferencing. Members of the public may view the hearing via live webcast accessible on the Energy and Commerce Committee’s website. Please note the webcast will not be available until the hearing begins.
Information for this hearing, including the Committee Memorandum, witnesses, testimony, and a live webcast will be posted HERE as they become available.
