Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul said: “As the daughter of a woman small business owner, I know the sacrifices that come along with starting and running your own business. Female entrepreneurs play a crucial role in Lynbrook and in communities across New York State. Governor Cuomo and I will continue to work with our partners in Albany like Sen. Todd Kaminsky to decrease regulatory burdens and remove barriers so more business owners are able to follow their passions while creating jobs and spurring the local economy.”
“Small businesses are the fabric and the backbone of our communities,” said Senator Kaminsky. “It was a pleasure to visit with some of Lynbrook’s women business owners and speak to them about their experiences and daily challenges that they face. I am committed to working with Governor Cuomo and Lt. Governor Hochul to provide expanded opportunities to women-owned businesses, and thank the Lt. Governor for visiting Lynbrook today.”
