MEMORANDUM

| From: | Senator Richard A Kasunic |
| To: | All Senate members |
| Subject: | Veteran's Entrepreneurial Training and Support Act |
In the near future, I plan on introducing legislation that would create the Veteran's Entrepreneurial Training and Support Program within the Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED). This program, working in consultation with the Department of Military and Veteran Affairs, would be tasked with providing small business and entrepreneurial focused services to veterans and reservists. The overall goal of the program is to assist veterans and reservists in obtaining the necessary skills to create, manage, and operate a small business. As we all are aware, Pennsylvania’s economic recovery remains fragile and unsteady. It is critical that we pursue policies that stimulate the economy, move business forward and create jobs even in the midst of difficult fiscal times. This legislation is one part of a legislative package called PA Works that is designed to create 28,000 new jobs, leverage over $2 billion in new private investment and save $150 million. If you have any additional questions please contact my office at 717-787-7175 |
