The fund is to prioritize reallocation of resources to frontlinecommunities that have historically been dumped on, disinvested in,and disproportionately impacted by destructive disposal activities (e.g.landfills and incinerators).2. Commit $20 million annually from municipal economic developmentbonds or other revenue sources for jobs deconstructing nuisance andvacant properties and reusing/recycling recovered building materials.3.
