The park was named a winner in the Superfund National Priority List BRAC Award category.
The award highlights the significant accomplishments of federal agencies, states, tribes, local partners and developers in restoring and reusing contaminated land at federal facilities.
“Our award winners are to be commended for the creative thinking, hard work, and cooperation that went into the impressive redevelopment projects we are recognizing today,” said Barry N. Breen, acting assistant administrator for EPA’s Office of Land and Emergency Management, in a statement. “Their work clearly shows that addressing contaminated properties in a way that aligns with the needs of the surrounding community leads to win-win solutions for both the environment and the economy.”

Geddes, N.Y. It was the kind of recruitment email Carrie Rewakowski typically ignores.
It was early January, and Rewakowski, a registered nurse for 23 years, was in a sad place. Covid-19 hospitalizations and deaths were mounting. She wanted to help.
She opened that email from a health care temp agency Jan. 8. Six days later, she was seated at one of 20 tables at the New York State Fairgrounds, ready to vaccinate people against Covid-19.
8 EIELSON AIR FORCE BASE, ALASKA – Airmen from the New York Air National Guard’s 174th Attack Wing spent two weeks in Alaska participating in Northern Edge 21, launching the remotely piloted MQ-9 Reaper in the skies among the high-speed performance fighters of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command from May 3-14.
The biannual exercise increases combat effectiveness among the various U.S. aircraft in conventional warfare. This is in contrast to years of missions flown in support of counterinsurgency and counter terrorism efforts by the 174th, based at Hancock Field Air National Guard Base in Syracuse, N.Y.
“The purpose of the exercise is to shift from lower intensity conflict to great power competition,” said Lt. Col. Keith Walker, the deputy commander for the 174th Operations Group.

WASHINGTON: Upgrades to the MQ-9 Reaper’s comms and targeting capabilities are being demo’d by the Air National Guard (ANG) during the Northern Edge 2021 exercise in the Arctic, with a goal to help the venerable drone “play an increased, more prominent role in the command and control arena of the battlefield.”
The new pod-based capabilities will be flown onboard a 174TH ATKW MQ-9, according to a May 6 press release from the New York Air National Guard’s 174th Attack Wing.
