New Brownfields Bill - HB-5586

This new proposal would establish an account to be known as the "brownfields remediation and redevelopment account" which shall be a separate from the General Fund. The funds will go through the Commissioner of Economic and Community Development for providing necessary staff positions and interagency cooperation to recapture brownfield sites determined by the commissioner to be lost economic assets across the state.


We are requesting that a sum of seventy-five million dollars is appropriated to the Department of Economic and Community Development, from the General Fund, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009.
