The new Cabinet member made his first stop outside the U.S. Capital a trip to Siemens GA 400 facility.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Jacob J. Lew said the Siemens GA 400 facility is the kind of manufacturing plant the country needs to promote. Lew was making his first trip outside of Washington, DC, since being confirmed for the Cabinet position by the U.S. Senate on Feb. 27. He was asked why he came to this part of the country for his first trip. "This was the kind of facility that demonstrated advanced manufacturing," he said. The technology at Siemens is being used in a way that creates multiple benefits, he said.

Next week, when the Fulton County School System goes on its Spring Break, things could look a little different at Siemens Industry Inc. in Alpharetta. Office mail might go undelivered.
