“Land is a vital resource. It has both economic and environmental value. For every acre of brownfields we restore, we save around four acres of green space. It’s really important.”

Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf
(took office in January 2015)
“The goal of Pennsylvania’s Land Recycling Program is to encourage public sector cleanup of contaminated, vacant or otherwise underutilized properties and return them to productive use.”

“You talk about recycling plastic. You talk about recycling paper. How about recycling land? We thought it was a “green” initiative because, for every company you support building on the old infrastructure, you’re not building on green fields.”

Pennsylvania Governor Tom Ridge
(1995-2001)
