We owe those who serve our country every opportunity to transition to a new chapter in their lives. That’s why I was proud to champion the Veterans Jobs Opportunity Act this week to help unleash opportunity for our veterans looking to open a new business in underserved rural communities.
Here is how this bill will help Iowans:
-
Provide 15% of start-up expenditures, up to $50,000, to help veterans open a new business
-
Create job opportunities and increase economic development in rural communities across our state
This is commonsense, bipartisan bill that will empower Iowa’s veterans, help job creation, and continue to breathe life into our rural communities.
