Baird Invites EPA Secretary to Indiana

State Rep. Beau Baird (R-Greencastle), chair of the Indiana House Environmental Affairs Committee, is extending an invitation to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Secretary Lee Zeldin to visit Indiana for a roundtable discussion on environmental issues and to tour key conservation sites.

In a letter to Zeldin, Baird emphasized Indiana’s leadership in conservation initiatives, sustainability projects and public-private partnerships. The roundtable discussion would focus on the state’s environmental priorities, challenges and successes. Baird also offered to accompany the EPA Secretary on site visits to areas like conservation districts, agricultural research facilities, sustainable manufacturers and restored habitats.

“Indiana is making strong progress on conservation and environmental sustainability,” Baird said. “This visit would highlight the partnerships and projects moving us forward. We would be honored to host Secretary Zeldin.”

Baird represents House District 44, which includes all of Putnam County and a portion of Montgomery County.
