President Joe Biden, members of his Cabinet, and the Administration will kick off its fourth Investing in America Tour to highlight how Bidenomics and the President’s Investing in America agenda are growing the economy and delivering for Communities in the country.
When the tour kicks off Thursday, the Administration will announce nearly $1 billion for airport terminal projects that will modernize airports for the 21st century, the White House said.
Over the course of the tour, President Biden and Administration leaders will make major announcements, it added.
The tour will also underscore how under President Biden, cities and towns across the country that have historically been left behind are making an economic comeback.
