BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Vice President Biden on Thursday visited a technology center that broke ground on an expansion partly funded by federal stimulus money.
The $17 million Ben Franklin TechVentures received a $6 million grant under the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act in September. The technology business incubator is on the Lehigh University campus.
Biden lauded the project as helping to create high-tech jobs for the 21st century. The grant will help fund a 47,000-square-foot expansion and create 200 technology jobs, the company said. - AP
