Resolution Declaring May 5 Through May 11, 2019
as
National Small Business Week in the Town of Pulaski
WHEREAS, America's progress has been driven by pioneers who think big, take risks and work hard;
and,
WHEREAS, from the storefront shops that anchor Main Street to the high-tech startups that keep
America on the cutting edge, small businesses are the backbone of our economy and the
cornerstones of our nation's promise; and,
WHEREAS, small business owners and Main Street businesses have energy and a passion for what
they do; and,
WHEREAS, when we support small business, jobs are created and local communities preserve their
unique culture; and,
WHEREAS, because this country's 30 million small businesses create nearly two out of three net new
jobs in our economy, we cannot resolve ourselves to create jobs and spur economic growth in
America without discussing ways to support our entrepreneurs; and,
WHEREAS, the President of the United States has proclaimed National Small Business Week every
year since 1963 to highlight the programs and services available to entrepreneurs through the U.S.
Small Business Administration and other government agencies; and,
WHEREAS, the Town of Pulaski, Virginia supports and joins in this national effort to help America's
small businesses do what they do best: grow their business, create jobs, and ensure that our
communities remain as vibrant tomorrow as they are today.
NOW, THEREFORE be it RESOLVED by the Town Council of the Town of Pulaski, Virginia sitting in
