Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen will travel to the battleground state of Georgia this week to show off infrastructure investments funded by the Biden administration that she’ll say are benefiting residents of the Peach State.
“These investments fuel long-term economic growth, build economic resilience and increase economic opportunity,” Yellen said in the text of remarks she’s scheduled to deliver in the port city of Savannah on Friday. “They are, very simply, good economics.”
