U.S. Department of the Treasury

WASHINGTON - On Thursday, March 8, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner will tour BNSF’s Alliance Intermodal Facility in North Fort Worth to highlight the importance of domestic infrastructure development to the competitiveness of American businesses. While in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, the Secretary will also meet with local business leaders at the Dallas Regional Chamber to discuss the state of the economy and the President’s efforts to create jobs and a stronger American economy that is built to last.

During his visit, the Secretary will discuss the President’s FY2013 Budget, which includes common-sense proposals to revitalize American infrastructure by creating a 21^st century transportation network that allows companies to ship their goods more efficiently throughout the country and the world. The U.S. Senate is considering a key part of that plan – a multi-year surface transportation reauthorization bill. A modern transportation infrastructure network, supported by both public and private investment is vital for the economy and job creation.
