Biden Admin Puts $428M Into Manufacturing Projects In Coal Communities

"The Biden administration is putting $428 million into bolstering manufacturing projects in 15 communities whose economies have historically relied on coal plants or mining.

The funds will go to 14 projects, the administration announced Tuesday. These projects include facilities that will make things like batteries and low-carbon cement, which the administration said will help the climate.

“These are communities that powered America for literally decades, and this administration, the Biden-Harris administration, believes they’re exactly the right folks in the right communities to lead the clean energy transition for decades to come,” Deputy Energy Secretary David Turk told reporters.

The administration said the facilities together will support 1,900 jobs."
