Supporting Main Street - State Resources for Small Businesses

Supporting Main Street

My office will be hosting a Community Policy hearing on State Resources for Small Businesses on Thursday, January 30th at 10 a.m. in the Upper Providence Township Building, 1286 Black Rock Road, Phoenixville, PA, 19460.

This meeting will be an opportunity for government officials, local businesses, and members of our community to come together and engage with a panel about how to access resources for small businesses such as:

• PA Business One-Stop Shop
• Resources through the Department of Community and Economic Development
• Act 90 resources for municipalities to combat blight in communities
• COSTARS cooperative purchasing program

Why Should We Support Small Business Growth and Development?

In Pennsylvania small businesses employ nearly 50% of our workforce and generate at least 60% of new jobs every year. That makes small businesses vital to the well being of our communities and local economic development. I’ve attended small business organization meetings in the 150th District and am consistently impressed by the level of community engagement with our entrepreneurial community.

The panel will be an opportunity for small businesses to hear from the different experts who represent state resources for small businesses and to listen to the business community on how Pennsylvania State Government can support them.

We Hope to See You There!

Please join my office on January 30th in the Upper Providence Township Building! We look forward to engaging with the community as we talk about how PA can better support small businesses right here in Upper and Lower Providence, Collegeville, West Norriton and Skippack.
