Biden Announces $1 Billion in Funding for Great Lakes Restoration

He made the announcement in Lorain

President Joe Biden announced plans to invest $1 billion in infrastructure funding into the Great Lakes during a visit to northeast Ohio Thursday.

The money is part of the $1 trillion infrastructure deal Biden signed into law in November, at the time promising Americans "a change for the better."

The deal includes funding for a wide range of projects nationwide, including work to rebuild roads and bridges, upgrade water systems and create good-paying union jobs. The $1 billion investment announced Thursday will allow for the most significant restoration project the Great Lakes have ever seen, Biden said during his visit to The Shipyards in Lorain.
