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. 💼📈

Thank you to Mayor Kimberly Ecklund, Chautauqua County Executive PJ Wendel, Congressman Langworthy, our speakers, partners, and everyone who helped make this event a success! 👏

This week on in Action on the Hudson: 🔬Why does soil sampling matter for catbirds?

Because what’s lurking beneath their feet could change everything! By digging into floodplain soils where they hang out, our Catbird study shows how PCBs can ripple through the food chain. It’s detective work for the birds and the whole Hudson River ecosystem!
