Small-business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs can learn about tax credits, workforce development and other programs at a Sept. 13 summit hosted by Reps. Sheri Jesiel (R-Winthrop Harbor) and Carol Sente (D-Vernon Hills), according to a press release.
"Small business is the engine that drives our economy, employing roughly half of all Americans, so it is essential we have an environment and resources here in Lake County to ensure our small businesses are successful," Jesiel said in the release.
The summit is co-sponsored by Lake County Small Business Development Center and Lake County Partners. Jesiel and Sente will inform attendees about their efforts to help boost the economy and jobs.
