LORDSTOWN — Vice President Joe Biden, a Democrat, will return to the Mahoning Valley on Friday, the day after the conclusion of the Republican National Convention, according to a President Barack Obama campaign official.

Biden will travel to Lordstown for a campaign event, the official said.

Biden will have a rally at the United Auto Workers Local 1714 union hall at 2121 Salt Springs Road, according to a source not affiliated with the campaign but with information about this and other presidential and vice presidential events.

With last Thursday’s announcement that General Motors will invest $200 million at its Lordstown complex for tooling and equipment to build the next-generation Chevrolet Cruze, Biden is expected to talk about the investment and the automotive industry on Friday.

Also, Biden’s visit will come the day after Mitt Romney’s Thursday acceptance speech as the Republican presidential nominee. That speech will close the Republican National Convention in Tampa.
