WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Representative Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) supported and the U.S. House of Representatives passed by voice vote the Rural Small Business Resilience Act today. This legislation aims to ensure that small businesses have full access to necessary financial support following a disaster.

“Our small businesses form the foundation of our vibrant main streets in rural Iowa. These businesses — and the entrepreneurs who take major risks to start them — are critical to growing our economy and keeping our communities strong,” said Rep. Feenstra. “When severe weather or other disasters strike, it’s absolutely vital that our small businesses have access to the financial support that they need to keep their doors open and keep employees on payroll. That’s why I voted for the Rural Small Business Resilience Act to help our businesses get through tough times, navigate uncertainty after disasters, and keep our economy growing.”
