What’s the state of Federal Brownfields Policies, Advocacy and Funding in 2025?
It’s a time of change and disruption in Washington and in the midst of it all, Congress and the administration are actively considering the future of federal support for brownfields programs. Join Kennedy O’Dell, Senior Manager of Advocacy at Smart Growth America, and Jean Hamerman, Executive Director for the Center for Creative Land Recycling, for an insider’s conversation on what’s happening with federal funding, EPA programs, and brownfield legislation pending in Congress.
This webinar will cover a wide range of issues including brownfields tax deduction legislation, brownfields reauthorization legislation, FY26 appropriations, and other timely issues. Attendees will learn more about the legislative ideas under consideration, how they can support legislative efforts, and how they can champion brownfields redevelopment success stories to protect funding. This webinar will benefit all practitioners in understanding federal legislation and the work of the National Brownfields Coalition in advancing sustainable brownfield redevelopment. We hope to see you there!
