SHAKER HEIGHTS, Ohio—

President Barack Obama will deliver remarks on the economy on Wednesday, January 4, at Shaker Heights High School, according to the White House Press Office.

The president is scheduled to arrive in Cleveland around 11:35 a.m. and depart around 2:35 p.m. He is expected to deliver his speech in the North Gymnasium around 1:15 p.m.

The event is free and open to the public, but those in attendance must have a ticket.

Tickets will be distributed at the Shaker Heights City School District Administration Building beginning at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, January 3. Tickets will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis.

The speech is the president’s first since returning from a more than week-long vacation in Hawaii for the holidays.

The president had put off his trip to Hawaii to wait for Congress to extend payroll tax cuts expiring at the end of December, which lawmakers eventually agreed to continue for only two months because of disagreements about how to offset their cost.
