The National Brownfields Coalition, with support from roughly 90 organizations, put together a letter in support of the reintroduction of the Brownfields Redevelopment Tax Incentive Reauthorization Act (H.R. 815). This bill, introduced by Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ-11) and Rep. Michael Turner (R-OH-10), will allow taxpayers to fully deduct the cleanup costs of contaminated property in the year the costs were incurred.
The brownfield tax incentive is a powerful tool that will aid in transforming contaminated sites into thriving spaces, fostering economic growth and community well-being for generations to come. The National Brownfields Coalition has been a leading voice in advocating for the passage of this bill, and restoring this vital tax deduction is long overdue. Learn more about H.R. 815.
