                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. LEONARD LANCE

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 16, 2009

  Mr. LANCE. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican Leadership 
standards on earmarks, I am submitting the following information 
regarding earmarks I received as part of H.R. 3170--the Financial 
Services and General Government Appropriations Act, 2010:
  Small Business Administration (Salaries and Expenses)--Pennval Road 
Green Technology Incubator, Township of Woodbridge, N.J., $250,000.
  The entity to receive this funding is: Township of Woodbridge, One 
Main Street, Woodbridge, NJ 07095.
  Woodbridge Township seeks to redevelop a brownfields site on Pennval 
Road into a Green Technology Incubator as a means of attracting 
economic development and encouraging job growth in the Township and the 
region. Consistent with the recently adopted New Jersey Energy Master 
Plan, which prioritizes the creation of a green technology and 
industrial sector in New Jersey alongside other goals such as enhanced 
conservation and efficiency, Woodbridge is embarking upon a 
redevelopment that will rely upon sustainable construction technologies 
for its physical facilities that will house the Incubator and promote 
business development and job creation specifically focused on fostering 
a clean energy/technology business cluster in the Township.
  As conceived, the Pennval Road Green Technology Incubator will 
involve construction of facilities using energy efficient design, 
encourage the location of businesses or organizations which generate or 
facilitate generation of forms of renewable energy, energy efficient 
transportation and industrial process firms, and academic and public/
private energy research and consulting activities. Woodbridge will also 
be establishing academic partnerships with local institutions of higher 
education to teach sustainable best practices onsite and provide real-
world experiences for their students in the businesses that choose to 
locate themselves at the Incubator. Finally, a portion of the 
redevelopment area is being set aside as the site of a solar array to 
generate renewable energy that will power the Incubator and potentially 
other users in the vicinity.
