Issue Position: Economic and Small Business Development

Issue Position

Our community's economy is built around small businesses. State and local leaders have focused their efforts on attracting huge companies like MCI, Intel and Amazon to Colorado by offering massive tax breaks and reduced water fees as incentives. However, these companies rarely stick around and add nothing to our economic sustainability.
We must focus our economic development efforts on assisting our small businesses by reducing regulatory hurdles and make access to capital easier and more affordable.
We can and must create a sustainable local economy where every working family can thrive.
