Energy Secretary Rick Perry is coming to Piketon. A statement released Friday said Perry will visit the former American Centrifuge plant on July 31st and review ongoing cleanup efforts.
The facility was defunded under former Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz.
Senator Sherrod Brown is hopeful about the visit. He said in a statement that, once Secretary Perry sees these Ohio workers in action, quote, "I have no doubt he'll agree that we should increase investment at the site."
