President Obama will be hosting a discussion about his new home retrofitting proposal at a Washington-area Home Depot.
The White House announced this afternoon that Obama will speak at an invitation-only event at Home Depot Tuesday about the “economic impacts of energy saving home retrofits.”
He will “solicit ideas from members of the labor, manufacturing, and small business communities,” the White House said.
Obama last week detailed a plan to use some of the remaining Troubled Asset Relief Program funds to stimulate economic growth and job creation.
He asked Congress to create incentives for homeowners who make their property more energy efficient.
Late Update: Obama on Monday is meeting with “members of the financial industry to discuss economic recovery, small business lending, improving lending practices for homeowners and the administration’s plans for financial reform,” the White House said. He’ll also give a brief statement to the press.
On Wednesday, Vice President Joe Biden is holding a Middle Class Task Force meeting on the future of manufacturing, the White House said.
