We're proud to join forces with over a dozen organizations, united in urging Governor Hochul to veto Senate S5868-B and Assembly A7491-B.
This bill risks diminishing environmental justice impacts, limiting economic growth, and increasing costs through the Brownfield Cleanup Program (BCP)—one of New York's most effective programs for revitalizing contaminated sites and promoting affordable housing and sustainable development.
The undersigned include:
- New York City Brownfield Partnership
- REBNY (Real Estate Board of New York)
- National Association of Minority & Women Owned Law Firms (NAMWOLF)(MWBE)
- Associated Builders and Contractors Empire State Chapter
- Richmond County Black and Minority Chamber of Commerce(MWBE)
- National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB)
…and many more dedicated to ensuring the BCP remains accessible and impactful.
We’re advocating for policies that continue to empower MWBE businesses, promote sustainable development, and protect New York’s commitment to environmental justice and affordable housing.
Our collective message: Protect New York’s communities, affordable housing goals, and green development by preserving the BCP’s success without added strain. We stand together to foster economic growth, environmental protection, and community resilience across New York.
