Pennsylvania Leaders Champion Economic Growth in Local Communities
In a spirited effort to support local businesses, Governor Josh Shapiro and Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) Secretary Rick Siger recently visited small enterprises in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania. Their visit, timed during the bustling holiday season, underscores the state’s commitment to economic initiatives aimed at reducing the financial burden on residents and enhancing the vitality of Pennsylvania’s main streets.
The Shapiro administration has made significant strides over the past two years in easing economic pressures. Notably, the administration has implemented tax reduction measures on more than four occasions, directly benefiting families, seniors, and businesses across the state. These efforts are part of a broader strategy to keep more money in the pockets of Pennsylvanians and fuel the growth of local economies.
Governor Shapiro emphasized the importance of these initiatives, stating, “We are focused on creating an environment where small businesses can thrive and local communities can flourish.” This approach not only aims to lower taxes but also includes strategic investments in community infrastructure, which are crucial for sustainable economic development.
During their visit, Governor Shapiro and Secretary Siger interacted with business owners and patrons, gathering insights into the challenges and successes experienced by local entrepreneurs. This direct engagement highlights the administration’s hands-on approach to understanding and addressing the needs of small businesses.
