On Apr. 6, Harris will travel to Dalton and tour the Qcells plant, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The Biden-Harris Administration plans to discuss ways to create clean energy and good-paying jobs.
The AJC reports, that Qcells will spend nearly $2.5 billion to build a new plant in Cartersville while expanding the capacity of the current facility in Dalton.

In Feb., Harris made a visit to Atlanta as she discussed the Biden Administration’s investments and plans to combat climate change.
During that visit, the vice president stopped at Georgia Tech as part of a two-day trip to discuss the United States economy.
Last week, Harris conducted a weeklong trip to Africa to help deepen U.S. relationships amid global competition over the continent’s future.
