Lawmakers discussed lending and other important issues with small business owners from throughout the region. The event was the second event held by NFIB and the Community Bankers. The first was held Aug. 6 in Gainesville. NFIB State Director Hunter Loggins said, “These events give our members the opportunity to engage directly with their legislators about the issues that really matter to them.” A third town hall was scheduled for Aug. 30 in Valdosta, but it has been postponed.
