MALVERN, PA — As federal aid arrives to help states rebuild post-pandemic, funds can help new business upstarts, and Rep.

The event will be livestreamed at www.RepKHoward.com from 5-6 p.m. on April 14.

"This virtual town hall is geared to help inform prospective business owners about the steps they can take to start new businesses in the commonwealth," she said. Two state-level speakers and one informed on the county-level will bring information related to funding for small businesses in Pennsylvania. The panelists will be Meredith Klinger, division chief, Bureau of Corporations and Charitable Organizations, Pennsylvania Department of State; Donald Poligone and Tracy Donley, Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development; and Maria Smith, chairperson, SCORE Chester and Delaware counties.
