President Joe Biden will visit the eastern Ohio community that was devastated by a fiery train derailment about a year after the crash in February 2023, according to a White House statement.

President Biden plans to meet in February with residents affected by the fiery crash and spill of toxic chemicals to “assess the progress that his administration has helped deliver in coordination with state and local leaders to protect the community and hold Norfolk Southern accountable,” the statement reads.
