Congressman Fuller Joins EPA in Announcing $6 Million in Federal Brownfield Funding in Northwest Georgia

WASHINGTON, D.C. — This week, Congressman Fuller joined the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)  and local community leaders in announcing a $6 million federal investment through brownfield funding across Northwest Georgia.

This federal investment will support the revitalization of previously polluted or blighted sites in communities across Northwest Georgia, creating new opportunities for economic development and growth while advancing the Trump Administration’s commitment to clean air, clean land, and clean water alongside economic growth and opportunity.

“Since taking office, I've worked closely with municipalities across Georgia's 14th District to support efforts to revitalize our communities and promote economic growth. I am thrilled to join EPA and our local leaders in announcing $6 million in federal brownfields funding that will help clean up contaminated properties, prepare for redevelopment, and return them to productive use for the communities they serve. I will fight to bring federal cleanup, infrastructure funding home each and every day.”— Congressman Clay Fuller

The following Northwest Georgia communities and organizations will receive a combined $6 million in federal brownfields funding:

• City of Chickamauga — $4 Million
  Community: Chickamauga
• Northwest Georgia Regional Commission — $1.5 Million
  Communities: Cedartown, Dalton, Summerville
• Rome-Floyd County Development Authority — $500,000
  Communities: Rome and Floyd County

Congressman Fuller remains committed to bringing federal dollars back to Northwest Georgia to clean up contaminated land and water and revitalize communities.
