Small business leaders applaud Biden Administration’s investment in North Carolina that will bolster Main Street



Small Business for America’s Future Senior Advisor Rhett Buttle reacts to Vice President Kamala Harris’s recent visit to Charlotte, North Carolina 

CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 12, 2024— “It is encouraging to hear about the investment dollars headed to North Carolina that will help strengthen our economy and create job opportunities for small business owners. With $9.3 billion in Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding announced for North Carolina and over 439 specific projects identified for funding its economic future looks bright. 

“When you support small businesses through smart economic policies you are strengthening communities. After all, small business owners not only create local jobs, they sponsor little league teams and hold fundraisers for local groups. 

“It’s our hope that more economic policies are put in place that will continue this progress.” 

Here’s what North Carolina small business leaders are saying: 

“As a small business owner, I was glad to see Vice President Harris talking about the administration’s efforts that are helping boost small businesses. Legislation like the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act has provided actionable support in my ability to innovate and thrive in my small business. I look forward to the administration’s continuous support of small businesses. ”

These investments directly benefit small businesses like mine, allowing us to plan for the future with confidence.”
