Young, Assistant Secretary Of Commerce Alejandra Castillo To Hold Media Availability

U.S. Senator Todd Young (R-Ind.) will join U.S. Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Economic Development Alejandra Y. Castillo and local and state stakeholders at a listening session Tuesday on the formation of Tech Hubs across the country. Following the listening session, Young and Assistant Secretary Castillo will hold a media availability.

Tech Hubs are a key component of Senator Young’s CHIPS and Science Act, which became law last year. The bill authorized $10 billion for the creation of at least 20 tech hubs, which will be designated to jumpstart regional innovation in key technology areas across the country.

The U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA), the agency tasked with designing the Tech Hub program, is seeking input through a Request for Information that is open until March 16. In Tuesday’s listening session, state and local stakeholders will be able to provide direct input to the head of EDA, Assistant Secretary Castillo.

Members of the media interested in attending this event must RSVP to press@young.senate.gov.
