PRESS PHOTO BY SCOTT M. NAGY Air Force One arrives at Lehigh Valley International Airport Jan. 12 for President Joe Biden's visit to the Lehigh Valley. Accompanying him on his travels were state Sen. Bob Casey Jr., Gov. Josh Shapiro and U.S. Congresswoman Susan Wild, D-7th. Allentown Mayor Matt Tuerk greeted him at LVIA, then later accompanied him on stops at the Allentown Fire Academy and Emergency Operations Center. In Emmaus, he visited several local businesses - including Emmaus Run Inn, South Mountain Cycle Shop and Nowhere Coffee. He stayed longer than planned, not leaving the borough until nearly 4 p.m., which, according to the president's schedule, was the departure time from LVIA.
