Estes to host virtual conference to aid small business, local governments

In an effort to assist local businesses and governments rebound as the coronavirus slowly begins to subside, Rep. Tracy Estes (R-Winfield) will be hosting a virtual conference later this month to bring together those who can play a vital role in the process.
“Our sole purpose in coming forward with this idea is to seek ways we can assist our small business owners and government officials in battling their way back after this unexpected turn of events,’’ Estes said. “Our economy has been blindsided in ways none of us could have imagined only a few months ago.
“While the battle with this virus is not yet over, we must step forward with ideas our business owners can use to reestablish their financial footing. By bringing together key players from the state level, I am confident we can be productive.’’
