EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin Meets Region 2 Staff for First Time as Administrator
WASHINGTON – On Thursday, February 13, 2025, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin traveled to New York City to visit the EPA’s Region 2 Headquarters in downtown Manhattan. The Administrator met with Regional Administrator Mike Martucci, and addressed regional staff in person and virtually.
“EPA’s Regional offices across the country are the backbone of our mission to help deliver clean air, water and land to all Americans. I’m grateful for Regional Administrator Martucci and his staff for the warm welcome. Region 2 employees are committed to our cause and are working around the clock. Last week, I met with EPA staff from Regions 4 and 9 and I look forward to meeting more shortly as I embark on this journey,” said Administrator Zeldin.
“Administrator Zeldin has hit the ground running since taking office, and I was proud to have him here in Region 2’s New York offices today. He has an incredible work ethic, and he brings a new energy and focus on our core mission to deliver clean air, clean land and clean water to the American people,” said Regional Administrator Martucci.
As a member of Congress, Zeldin represented a district in Region 2 and fought for conservation efforts in the region. Last week, he visited three priority disaster sites and met with residents, community leaders, and the EPA employees providing critical work with the response effort.
