Husted, EPA Administrator Zeldin visit technology, manufacturing facilities in Columbus, Chillicothe

“The facilities Administrator Zeldin and I visited today are prime examples of how Ohio innovation and manufacturing are driving our economy forward.” COLUMBUS – Sen. Jon Husted (R-Ohio) today joined U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin for a visit to Revive Environmental Technology in Columbus and Kenworth Truck Manufacturing in Chillicothe. “Ohio makes the things the world needs, from technologies that help clean our water to the trucks that move goods across America. The facilities Administrator Zeldin and I visited today are prime examples of how Ohio innovation and manufacturing are driving our economy forward. I was honored to meet with the workers and leaders who make these industries possible, and I will continue fighting to ensure Ohio remains the best place in the country to build, innovate and create jobs,” said Husted. “It was great to be back in Ohio with Senator Jon Husted. From Revive Enviornmental’s innovative PFAS destruction efforts to PACCAR’s Kenworth plant assembling many of America’s heavy-duty trucks, Ohio is truly on the frontlines of the effort to Power the Great American Comeback. I look forward to continue working alongside Senator Husted to protect our environment and grow the economy in Ohio,” said Zeldin. Revive Environmental Technology operates the PFAS Annihilator ®, which is a technology that destroys per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in wastewater, landfill leachate and firefighting foams. Husted and Zeldin received a briefing on the company’s technology and operations before touring the facility. At Kenworth Truck Manufacturing, Husted and Zeldin met with workers during a plant tour and town hall discussion to hear directly about their experiences and priorities. Rep. Dave Taylor (R-Ohio) also participated in the visit. Founded in 1923, Kenworth Truck Company specializes in the design and manufacture of heavy- and medium-duty trucks. The visit builds on Husted’s support for strengthening American manufacturing and supporting Ohio workers. Husted supported the Working Families Tax Cuts Act, which: Creates better-paying jobs and supporting Made-in-America manufacturing. Makes the 20% small business deduction permanent. Allows full expensing for machinery, research and development and new factories. Reduces taxes for more than 12 million small business owners by an average of $7,000.
