Dahlkemper to Hold Press Conference at

Penn-Northwest in Mercer on Wednesday

 

Washington—Congresswoman Kathy Dahlkemper (PA-3) will hold a press conference on Wednesday, April 7th at 1:30 p.m. at Penn-Northwest Development Corporation in Mercer. Rep. Dahlkemper, a member of the House Committee on Small Business and the Congressional Business Owners Caucus, has introduced legislation to improve small businesses’ access to credit.

 

The Express Loans Improvement Act would make changes to the Small Business Administration’s Express Loans program, which gives an established network of lenders greater loan approval responsibility with less bureaucracy and shorter approval times. Rep. Dahlkemper’s proposal would increase Express loan guarantees and values as well as tighten rules to protect taxpayers.  

 

“Small businesses are the foundation of our economy; when small businesses succeed, they create jobs and opportunities in our communities. The tight credit market has limited small businesses’ ability to grow and create new jobs in the process. This plan will give small businesses better access to credit and help community banks provide the lending our local economies need to prosper,” Rep. Dahlkemper said.

 

Dahlkemper will be joined by Larry Reichard, executive director of Penn-Northwest Development Corporation.
