A number of federal agencies will participate in the summit, which is aimed at coordinating efforts to obtain funding through the Biden Administration's Justice 40 Initiative. The expansion of these types of summits to the Gulf Coast region displays the continued commitment of the Biden Administration in promoting environmental justice initiatives across the nation.
