In a special announcement, Governor Greg Abbott declared this week as 2024 Small Business Week in Texas, running from April 28 to May 4. This initiative honors the 3.2 million small businesses that play a vital role in the state’s economy by creating jobs and driving growth.
Governor Abbott emphasized the importance of small businesses in Texas, noting that they employ nearly half of all working Texans. He highlighted these businesses as the backbone of the state’s economy, contributing to prosperity in both small towns and big cities.
The Governor’s Office of Small Business Assistance, which falls under economic development and tourism, offers resources to help start-ups and small businesses of all sizes in every community to establish, strengthen, and expand their operations. For more information on how to access these resources, individuals can visit the small business office’s website.
As Texas continues to thrive and grow, small businesses remain vital to the state’s success. Governor Abbott’s declaration of Small Business Week serves as a tribute to the hardworking entrepreneurs who contribute to the fabric of the Lone Star State’s economy.
