Webinar: Understanding the federal environment for brownfields policy and advocacy in 2025

By Rachel Ellis, December 16, 2025

It’s a time of change and disruption in Washington and in the midst of it all, Congress and the administration are actively considering the future of federal support for brownfields programs. In this webinar, Kennedy O’Dell, Director of Advocacy at Smart Growth America, and Jean Hamerman, Executive Director for the Center for Creative Land Recycling offer an insider’s conversation on what’s happening with federal funding, EPA programs, and brownfield legislation pending in Congress.

This webinar covers a wide range of issues including brownfields tax deduction legislation, brownfields reauthorization legislation, FY26 appropriations, and other timely issues. Learn more about the legislative ideas under consideration, how they can support legislative efforts, and how they can champion brownfields redevelopment success stories to protect funding. This webinar is great for helping practitioners in understanding federal legislation and the work of the National Brownfields Coalition in advancing sustainable brownfield redevelopment.
