This bill reauthorizes funding for the Brownfields Revitalization Program, which helps clean up and redevelop abandoned or underused industrial and commercial properties contaminated with hazardous substances.

It was introduced by Senator Thomas Carper and is currently in the early stage of the legislative process.
