President Joe Biden visits the Cummins Power Generation Facility in April 2023 as part of his administration's Investing in America tour in Fridley, Minnesota, focusing on infrastructure and clean energy jobs. Last year, Cummins announced Fridley would be the site of its first electrolyzer manufacturing facility in the United States, a $10 million investment that's expected to create 100 new jobs.
