Butterfield to Promote Economic Development and Rural Health Access Next Week

 

WASHINGTON, DC – Next week, Congressman G. K. Butterfield (NC-01) will make several stops to promote small businesses, job growth, healthcare access, and economic development in the region. 

On Monday, Butterfield will begin the week by co-hosting an event with the Women’s Business Center of North Carolina, Small Business and Technology Development Center, Minority and Women Business Enterprise, and Elizabeth City University to educate minority business owners on tax policies that could help grow their businesses.  Next, Butterfield will visit two small businesses in the district, Air Mania and West Fraser Sawmill.  The Congressman has been working with Air Mania to obtain job training grants for veterans and ex-offenders.

 

On Tuesday, he will meet with officials from the Duke University Health System to discuss improving healthcare access to low-income and rural communities.  While at Duke, Butterfield will also tour the new Duke Cancer Center.
