Brownfields Redevelopment Tax Incentive Reauthorization Act of 2021

Bill 117 HR 4427, also known as the Brownfields Redevelopment Tax Incentive Reauthorization Act of 2021, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress. The bill aims to reauthorize and extend tax incentives for the redevelopment of brownfield sites across the country.

Brownfield sites are abandoned or underutilized properties that may be contaminated with hazardous substances. These sites often pose environmental and health risks to surrounding communities, and redevelopment efforts are crucial to revitalizing these areas and promoting economic growth.

The Brownfields Redevelopment Tax Incentive program provides tax incentives to developers who clean up and redevelop brownfield sites. These incentives help offset the costs of remediation and encourage private investment in these properties. The bill seeks to extend the tax incentives provided under the program, which were originally established in the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996. By reauthorizing these incentives, the bill aims to continue supporting the cleanup and redevelopment of brownfield sites, creating jobs, and revitalizing communities. Overall, the Brownfields Redevelopment Tax Incentive Reauthorization Act of 2021 is a bipartisan effort to promote environmental stewardship, economic development, and community revitalization through the redevelopment of brownfield sites.
