Today, President Obama arrived in Tennessee to make an announcement regarding the launch of two new initiatives. After the President's announcement, Rep. Fleischmann made the following statement.

"Tennessee has an exceptional business climate, and thanks to local workforce development efforts and public-private partnerships, manufacturing is growing in East Tennessee. We are fortunate to be home to some great educational institutions, research facilities, and amazing companies. This outstanding work has garnered recognition from the Department of Energy, which, in conjunction with universities and non-profits, has announced the launch of the new Manufacturing Innovation Institute for Advanced Composites. I am glad the President took the time today to come see all that is happening in East Tennessee. I am hopeful he will work with the new Congress to help businesses continue to grow through mechanisms like this public-private partnership."
