Governor Greg Abbott has proclaimed this week as 2024 Small Business Week in Texas, from April 28 to May 4. This special week is aimed at honoring the more than 3.2 million small businesses that play a crucial role in the state’s economy by providing jobs and driving growth.
In his announcement, Governor Abbott highlighted the importance of small businesses in Texas, stating that they employ nearly half of all working Texans. He emphasized that these businesses are 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, provides 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 take advantage of these resources, individuals can visit the small business office’s website.
Small businesses remain vital to Texas’ success as the state continues to thrive and grow. 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.
