Thank you to Congressman Nick Langworthy for a great event last week in Jamestown, NY!

We’re proud to highlight the EPA’s $1 million investment in the City of Jamestown to clean up the Chadakoin River Corridor. 🌊 This grant will support the assessment and cleanup of contaminated land, the development of reuse plans, and meaningful community involvement throughout the process. 🏞️🤝

Brownfields investments have leveraged more than $45 billion in cleanup and redevelopment and helped support more than 228,900 jobs through public and private investment. On average, every $1 awarded through an EPA Brownfields Grant has leveraged $19.47 through fiscal year 2025. 💼📈
