NDA Applauds the House for Passing Brownfields Reauthorization

WASHINGTON - Dec. 1, 2017 - PRLog -- The National Demolition Association (NDA) applauds the House of Representatives for passing the bipartisan Brownfields Enhancement, Economic Redevelopment, and Reauthorization Act (H.R. 3017) sponsored by Rep. David McKinley (R-WV). This legislation will fund the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Brownfields Program and provide for the redevelopment of contaminated areas.

"NDA is tremendously pleased with the House vote on critical legislation to reauthorize funding for Brownfields sites," said NDA President, Scott Knightly. "The Brownfields Program is demonstrably successful and this type of land renewal is the work of the demolition industry. The EPA estimates that there are close to 450,000 Brownfields sites in the United States and funding is needed to facilitate the work that spurs economic development, makes neighborhoods more livable, and cleans the environment. NDA urges the Senate to take up this legislation immediately."
