Reaching Out and Encouraging Growth

Hispanic business growth

 

And he should know. Astorino is actively involved in the local-business activities, including visiting companies and their owners and operators. He sees this as a way to learn about some of the challenges they are facing and share his own experiences in the business-sector environment. Before he became county executive, he worked for organizations such as ESPN radio and Sirius XM satellite radio.

“I know what it’s like to have to meet budgets, keep costs contained and reach out to your market,” said Astorino. “And that’s what we’re trying to do here in county government. We’re holding the line on taxes, holding the line on spending, and we’re giving small and large businesses the tools they need to succeed.’

A similar event is scheduled for this fall that will focus on African-American entrepreneurs.

“We take this very seriously because it’s good for everyone involved: the job creators, job seekers and the county’s overall population,” said Astorino. “After all, government doesn’t create jobs; businesses do. And that’s what we need to encourage not only here, but elsewhere as well.”

Hopefully, other communities will follow Westchester County’s lead and similarly encourage private-job creation. Or perhaps even go beyond simple drop-in glad-handing to actively host events such as the Hispanic Small Business Development Forum. Or based on the Latin Business Today tagline inspired by “Coach” Fernandez, –  Inform, Inspire, Mentor & Empower. Admission is free…Reserve your seat here!
