LANCASTER, PA — As part of the Biden-Harris Administration's Investing in America agenda, U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg toured infrastructure projects underway in Central Pennsylvania thanks to funding from President Joe Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and heard from workers about how the President’s investments in infrastructure are benefitting their communities and careers.

The Secretary began his trip in Lancaster, where he took a walking tour guided by Mayor Danene Sorace. On the tour, he saw how federal dollars headed to Lancaster thanks to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Safe Streets and Roads for All program, a part of the BIL, will be used to improve roadway safety for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists, and help the community reduce roadway fatalities.

Buttigieg then headed to Steelton where he visited the nation’s oldest continually operating steel mill and hosted a news conference alongside Governor Josh Shapiro. Buttigieg toured the facility and talked with the workers manufacturing American-made steel that will be used in infrastructure projects across the country.

At the steel mill, workers and mill leadership highlighted how the growing demand for American-made steel products, due to an increase in infrastructure projects across the country because of the BIL, is increasing profit, adding jobs, and growing the local economy in Central Pennsylvania and nationwide.

To close out his time in the region, Buttigieg stopped by the Harrisburg International Airport alongside Harrisburg Mayor Wanda Williams to see progress on various improvement projects underway at the airport.

The Harrisburg airport is using federal dollars to help people get their goods more quickly by expanding the cargo facilities and improving the passenger experience at the airport by replacing six passenger boarding bridges and updating an outdated baggage handling system.
