HR2409 provides rural small business owners the same opportunities and assistance as non-rural small businesses.
Congressman John Rose’s rural small business bill passed the House on July 11 with 413 votes in support. HR2409 allows entrepreneurs in rural communities to receive the same capital formation technical assistance available to many other small businesses across the state and nation.
“I have met folks in every county of the Sixth District who operate and work for rural small businesses, and I can attest that they are some of the hardest working people in our state and nation,” said Congressman Rose in a press release following the passage. “The workforces in our rural communities depend on the job opportunities provided by entrepreneurs who take great risks in their innovation. Family businesses and local companies in rural communities are often forgotten, but their capital formation challenges deserve the same attention we give any other small business.”
