The Chamber's expertise in assisting and attracting businesses to our region is an integral component in expanding job opportunities for residents and keeping our local economy growing.
Small businesses are the backbone of the Hudson Valley economy.
As a former small business owner and vice-chair of the House Small Business Committee, I know about the obstacles facing the business community. I believe the federal government needs to help businesses thrive, not create more red tape and regulations. Please do not hesitate to contact my office to learn more about a variety of small business programs offered by the federal government. As your representative in Congress, I will continue to work closely with the business owners of this area and the Poughkeepsie Area Chamber of Commerce to create an environment that encourages and attracts business development here in the Hudson Valley. Thanks to the tireless efforts of my friends at the Poughkeepsie Area Chamber of Commerce, the Hudson Valley remains a great place to do business.
