Vice President Vance plans Bay City plastics tour this week

Vice President JD Vance is scheduled to visit Vantage Plastics in Bay City, Michigan, on Friday, accompanied by U.S. Small Business Administration Administrator Kelly Loeffler. The tour will showcase the manufacturing facility, which recently underwent a $40 million investment to create 93 jobs, revitalizing a previously vacant plant. Following the tour, Vance and Loeffler will deliver remarks on the state of U.S. manufacturing, emphasizing America's industrial resurgence under President Trump's administration. This visit marks Vance's return to Michigan since his active role in the 2024 presidential campaign, where he supported Trump's policies. The event is closed to the public, and specific details about the timing have not been disclosed. Vantage Plastics produces materials for various industries, including automotive and agriculture.
