Mayors across the nation have urged lawmakers to show more support for microbusinesses. On Thursday, mayors from both sides of the political aisle participated in an event called Revitalizing America’s Cities, where economic recovery was a key theme.
Several mayors have advocated for the federal government to pitch in to help microbusinesses, which employ 10 people or less. They say they would welcome federal funding to keep small businesses running so long as the community could dictate where the money was allocated.
