The Brownfields Restoration and Economic Development Act

The Brownfields Restoration and Economic Development Act is legislation aimed at revitalizing previously contaminated or unused land, known as "brownfields." It provides funding and resources to assess, clean up, and redevelop these sites, encouraging their safe reuse for businesses, housing, or community spaces. The goal is to reduce urban blight, boost local economies, and improve environmental health, making formerly neglected areas productive and safe for communities.
