He arrived in town about about 2:30 p.m. with U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore, who was on Air Force One with him.
The president announced $3.3 billion in infrastructure projects for local communities. That included $36 million to Milwaukee for the 6th Street Corridor.
He made the announcement at the Hillside Boys and Girls Club at about 3:30 p.m.
“We’re rebuilding the roads, we’re filling in the cracks in the sidewalk, we’re creating spaces to live and work and play safely, and to breathe clean air, and to shop at a nearby grocery stocked with fresh and healthy food,” he said.
“You’ve lived and felt decisions made decades ago,” Biden said. “Today, today, we’re making decisions to transform your lives for decades to come.”

The money comes from the bipartisan infrastructure law that Biden signed in the first year of his presidency.
Several other people spoke before him, including Milwaukee County Executive Crowley, Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson, U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore and Gov. Tony Evers.
Biden and former President Donald Trump both clinched their party nominations overnight, and Biden wasted no time going after Trump.
“Just this week, Donald Trump said cuts to Social Security and Medicare are on the table. When asked if he changed his position, he said, quote, ‘There’s a lot we can do in terms of cutting, tremendous amount of things we can do,’ end of quote. I want to assure you I will never allow it to happen,” Biden said.
Biden’s visit comes a day after the Biden campaign opened 44 re-election offices in Wisconsin, including Milwaukee.
The campaign headquarters is located inside the old Blatz brewery, which long ago stopped producing beer and now hosts a series of offices.
Biden stopped there at about 4:10 p.m. after speaking at the Boys and Girls Club.

He said volunteers and staff in places like Milwaukee would help ensure his victory over Trump.
“This is how we are going to win again,” he said. “A lot of you helped me in 2020, and we made sure he was a loser and is a loser, and we’re going to make sure that happens again, right?”
Wednesday night, he will attend a private campaign event meeting with donors and supporters.
He will head to another battleground state, Michigan, on Thursday. He is scheduled to leave Milwaukee at 11:20 a.m. for Saginaw.
There is no official word on where he will stay, but News Chopper 12 did capture an exclusive video of workers putting up security gates outside the Pfister Hotel.
The downtown Milwaukee hotel is known for hosting presidents.
