In order to highlight job creation efforts underway by small businesses in the Second District, U.S. Rep. Bill Huizenga, MI-02, announces a tour of meetings with entrepreneurs and those who advance innovation in West Michigan.
“As we continue to work in the House to give job creators an atmosphere of growth and economic certainty, I want to hear from businesses in West Michigan who are starting or growing a business what they need – or do not need – from government,” Huizenga said. The public is encouraged to attend the Entrepreneur Resources Workshop to hear from entrepreneurs and partners about the resources available to start a small business. The Entrepreneur Resource Workshop will be held from 12 – 1:30 p.m. on August 25 at the Michigan Alternative and Renewable Energy Center, 200 Viridian Drive, Muskegon, MI 49440.
