Congressman Tierney Meets Local Business Owners and Residents in Amesbury

Amesbury, MA—Congressman John Tierney last week visited with small business owners, elected officials, and local residents in Amesbury to discuss efforts to revive our economy, create and save jobs, and support our community.

“It is extremely important to me to hear from local residents, elected officials, and business owners who live and work in our area,”
Congressman Tierney said. “It is essential that Democrats in Congress continue to respond to the needs of middle-class Americans and small business owners and focus on strengthening our economy and getting people back to work. We need to ensure that our local families, seniors, and businesses can continue to ‘make it in America’.”

In an ongoing effort to hear from local business owners and residents, Congressman Tierney visited numerous small businesses in Amesbury including, Zac & Annie’s, Old Newbury Crafters, Bertram & Oliver Booksellers, and Maggie Sundae.

In addition, Congressman Tierney recently hosted a Green Jobs Workshop for small businesses, an Exporting Seminar for business owners interested in growing their organizations, a series of Grants Workshops to connect business owners, non-profits, and municipalities with state and federal agencies. He also visited various businesses benefitting from federal Recovery Act funding and met with seniors across the region.
