Ethan Duran at The Daily Reporter reports on President Joe Biden’s visit to Milwaukee where he announced a new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule to replace lead pipes in U.S. cities within 10 years.  Milwaukee was named a Workforce Hub, connecting residents to trades jobs for replacing lead lines and upgrading infrastructure.  The initiative is supported by $2.6 billion in EPA funding and aims to create hundreds of new Apprenticeship opportunities in the Milwaukee area.  Milwaukee and Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD) will implement new policies requiring Apprenticeships on major construction projects.  Local Unions are committed to expanding Apprenticeship classes, with projections to add about 200 new Apprentices across different Trades.
