Restore rivers and streams that are affected by erosion and runoff from other pollution, reviving these waters to full use for our communities and our businesses, as well as anglers and boaters.
Strengthen our boroughs, towns and cities by preparing for reuse contaminated industrial sites known as "brownfields" --- an effort that improves the environment and creates jobs.
Protect working farms and preserve natural areas and open spaces while making improvements to our state parks and fish and game properties
Direct funds to revitalize Pennsylvania's towns by investing in Community Park and riverfront restoration, preserving historic properties, housing and mixed-use development and offering incentives to promote "smart growth" planning.
Support investments in energy production to promote diversification, including funding for wind farms, solar cells and alternative fuels, promoting the reuse of coal waste and encouraging reductions in carbon emissions.
