For more than 50 years, the U.S. Small Business Administration has celebrated National Small Business Week (NSBW), which recognizes the critical contributions of America’s entrepreneurs and small business owners. This year is one unlike the half-century that has come before.
We are facing unique challenges together. However, American small businesses continue to play a central role in building a strong country, prepared for any obstacles in the future.
More than half of Americans either own or work for a small business, and they create nearly two out of every three new jobs in the U.S. each year. As part of NSBW, the SBA takes the opportunity to highlight the impact of outstanding entrepreneurs, small business owners, and others who support entrepreneurship from all 50 states, Washington, D.C. and U.S. territories.
Additionally, this year’s NSBW recognized the small businesses who have navigated the coronavirus pandemic while supporting their employees and communities.
There were a number of presenters providing retooling and innovative practices for entrepreneurs as our nation’s small businesses look to pivot and recover towards a stronger economy.
Town of Morrisville Small Business Recovery Efforts
The Town of Morrisville does intend to allocate a significant portion of the $1,045, 300 of ARP money (We are being allocated $4.2 million this year and another $4 million next year) to develop and implement a Small Business Recovery Program. I would like your feedback on what should be included in a Business Recovery Program, so I can get this to staff as soon as possible.
