"the arts are central to who we are as a people, and they are central to the success of our kids."

"SelectUSA turned out to be an enormously successful process, where we're coordinating between agencies as well as other stakeholders."

"We are proud of the progress Turnaround Arts schools have made so far and thrilled to be able to expand the program into more schools across the country."

"We want to make sure that the Federal Government is working in sync with State and local governments when it comes to locating businesses here in the United States."
