As part of the Obama Administration’s "We Can’t Wait” efforts to
strengthen the economy, create jobs and support business growth,
Administration officials announced three significant actions to expand
the government’s purchase of biobased products, promote regional rural
job creation efforts, and develop a rural healthcare workforce, all of
which build on the historic investments the Administration has made in
rural America over the past three years. Today’s announcements are the
latest in a series of executive actions the Obama Administration is
taking to strengthen the economy and move the country forward because we
can’t wait for Congress to act.
