This week, Congressman Patrick McHenry (R-NC-10) welcomed representatives from the Tenth District Chambers of Commerce to Washington, D.C. for a series of meetings with White House officials, members of Congress, and economic development experts.
Representatives from all ten Tenth District Chambers of Commerce were invited to the fourteenth annual North Carolina Business & Economic Development Summit, which provides community business leaders the opportunity to meet with federal government officials and discuss the policies affecting Western North Carolina businesses and communities.
“Given the economic challenges and uncertainty we’re facing, it is critical our small businesses have a coordinated strategy in place to drive economic growth and create good-paying jobs,” said Congressman McHenry. “By bringing together local business leaders to discuss these issues with national leaders and economic development experts, we are putting our small businesses in the best position to grow Western North Carolina’s economy.”
Last month, Congressman McHenry was presented with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Spirit of Enterprise Award, a prestigious award honoring lawmakers who are dedicated to economic growth and job creation.
