It is encouraging to open the newspaper and see the large amount of economic development in our area. We have the airport modernization project, the upgrade of our waterways and improvement in our sewer systems. There are funds for the demolition of dilapidated structures, revitalizing of roads and bridges, improvement in public transportation, and, thankfully, the cleaning up of orphaned oil and gas wells. The billions spent to improve our infrastructure also improves our health and safety.
There is the investment in our rural areas by facilitating cooperatives to help our small to mid-size farms. Internet access is expanding in their areas.
New Kensington has its Advanced Manufacturing Park, and Pittsburgh is designated a workforce hub. Billions of dollars will promote training and manufacturing for robotics, clean energy and semiconductor plants to make microchips.
All of the above is the result of President Biden’s economic plan. It is called the Biden boom. Finally we have a president who is working for the middle class and not the donor class. He is not planning on a trillion-dollar giveaway to large corporations and the wealthy few like his predecessor did.
I am thankful for an empathetic, competent, emotionally and morally sound president.
