The grants are part of President Biden's investing in America agenda that aims to grow the economy.

On Wednesday, U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg will join Assistant Democratic Leader Jim Clyburn and others in S.C..

The leaders will gather to announce that the Biden-Harris Administration has awarded over $2.2 billion from the ‘RAISE’ discretionary grant program to 162 different infrastructure projects across the country.

Wednesday’s funding includes a nearly $23 million grant to build a pedestrian bridge and a multi-modal transit hub to better connect neighborhoods and college campuses to downtown Orangeburg.

The grant program, expanded under the ‘Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’ supports communities of all sizes, with half of the funding going to rural areas and the other half to urban.
