Biden administration officials will crisscross the United States in April to tout improvements to rural communities funded by the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
The"rural playbook" tour will include stops in several states as White House officials publicize billions of dollars' worth of funding aimed at improving forest fire readiness, rural broadband access, transportation networks, and water quality, among other items."Rural America is the source of the food we eat, the water we drink, and the energy we use," Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said during a Monday morning call with reporters.
The tour will include appearances by Vilsack, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan, Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, and Infrastructure Coordinator Mitch Landrieu.
