Gov. Josh Shapiro and U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg discussed the future of Pennsylvania at a press conference in Steelton.
Buttigieg was in Dauphin County on Tuesday with Gov. Josh Shapiro, which included a stop to tour the Cleveland Cliffs Steel Plant.DAUPHIN COUNTY, Pa. — U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was in Dauphin County with Gov. Josh Shapiro, which included a stop to tour the Cleveland Cliffs Steel Plant.
The plant was built over 150 years ago and represents the history of Pennsylvania's industry, but Buttigieg says it can also help usher in its future through the investments made by the Biden administration. "There's nothing about this that is old fashioned or looking to the past," Buttigieg said."On the contrary, it is the future of American rail, American defense and other parts of American infrastructure and industry that is being built right here in 2024 at this facility."
Hundreds of thousands of those investment dollars have yet to be spent, but Buttigieg says that the money will help sustain the growth of infrastructure for years to come. "We're taking the long view, it's why we're investing in workers and workforce," said Buttigieg."Knowing that this creates a decade's worth of jobs and that pipeline of jobs is as exciting as the finished product will be when it's done."
