Today, President Biden visited Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for a steel-cutting ceremony at the Philly Shipyard for the first offshore wind vessel of its kind to be made in America. This project is employing over 1,000 workers across nine unions, using steel plates made by the United Steelworkers in Indiana, and generating an estimated $125 million of U.S. economic activity each year. This project is another example of how Bidenomics is growing the economy from the middle out and bottom up.

The President also announced the first-ever Gulf of Mexico wind lease sale, which is the latest in a broad set of actions by the Biden-Harris Administration to build 30 gigawatts of offshore wind projects by 2030.  A key pillar of Bidenomics and the Invest in America agenda is creating offshore wind jobs across the country, including through tax credits from the Inflation Reduction Act to support the creation of wind turbines and ships made in the United States.
