Following Tuesday's State of the Union Address, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack is visiting North Carolina Wednesday and Thursday. Vilsack is hosting a series of events "underlining how the Biden-Harris Administration is delivering on its promises to grow the economy from the bottom up and the middle out by investing in rural communities." Vilsack visits Greensboro Wednesday to host a panel discussion highlighting the major investment being made by USDA to expand markets for America's climate-smart commodities. During the visit, Secretary Vilsack will also visit an agricultural facility and see firsthand some of the innovative, cutting-edge work that will be supported in the area by this investment. On Thursday, Secretary Vilsack will visit Raleigh, where he will host a panel discussion underlining the significant and transformative investments made by USDA to bolster infrastructure in rural North Carolinian communities. Investing in essential infrastructure like high-speed broadband, water infrastructure, and more is a pillar of USDA's efforts to create a "circular economy" in rural North Carolina and beyond.
