I am honored to join U.S. Senator Bob Casey as a moderator for his “Building Pennsylvania’s Future: Harnessing Federal Investments to Drive Economic Growth” event on August 18 with Keynote by U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack. Please be sure to join Senator Casey and officials from various federal agencies for a convening to discuss the unprecedented wave of incentives for investing in America created by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), CHIPS and Science Act, and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).
The event will also feature two place-based panels focused on investments, one on Appalachia and Rural Communities and another on Urban Communities and Hub Designations. The goal of the event is to give Pennsylvanians in the economic development community and beyond the chance to engage with officials from various federal and state agencies about opportunities made available by the IRA, IIJA, and CHIPS and Science Act and learn how to access and leverage these new investments (as well as learn how they fit with pre-existing opportunities).
When: Friday, August 18 from 8:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Where: Harrisburg, PA
