Speaker Hanshaw and Secretary Warner discuss new WV Small Business Growth Act

Speaker of the WV House of Delegates Roger Hanshaw and WV Secretary of State Kris Warner discussed the newly established WV Small Business Growth Act during the latest episode of “Just Three Questions!”, according to a press release from the Secretary of State’s office.

The WV Small Business Growth Act will be rolled out later this year and provide financial support to existing businesses.

“This is one of the things we’re proudest of this year…We’re expecting with great fanfare all 134 delegates and senators to be pushing out information into their local communities,” Hanshaw said.

“This addresses a need business owners have expressed. The new funding stream will provide capital for business owners to scale their operations without interrupting the day-to-day business,” Warner said.

“Sometimes there are local West Virginia home grown businesses that just need a little help, just need a little push, and that’s the West Virginia Small Business Growth Act,” Hanshaw added.

The conversation also included funding opportunities for upskilling employees and assistance for childcare providers and families.

Hanshaw’s segment and other recorded episodes of “Just Three Questions!” can be found on the WVSOS YouTube channel.
