Rep. Yaccarino Hosts Forum on Bipartisan Jobs Bill

State Representative Dave Yaccarino (R-87) and Senator Len Fasano hosted a Small Business Forum showcasing the details of the bipartisan “jobs” bill approved in the special legislative session last October.

About two dozen concerned business owners and residents came to the Town Library, where Senator Len Fasano and representatives from the state’s Department of Economic and Community Development and Department of Labor, joined Yaccarino to present the “Small Business Express” package approved by the legislature last fall. Yaccarino and Fasano also discussed the details of a variety of other grant and loan programs.

“Passing the jobs package was a good first step but we need to make sure we continue to respond to the needs of Connecticut’s small businesses,” Rep. Yaccarino said. “My job as a legislator is to make sure North Haven’s businesses know about the important programs legislators on both sides of the aisle worked so diligently to create. I’m happy we were able to bring this information to the library and directly to the people it benefits the most.”

Slashing red tape that bogs down business creation and expansion was among the goals sought as Yaccarino, Fasano and their colleagues drafted the legislation late last year. For one, agency officials described a new emphasis on expedited permitting process for businesses.
