Legislation impacting Manufacturers
 

The Manufacturing Leaders Group (MLG) met on January 29th at Steven Roberts Original Desserts in Aurora. The group talked about legislation impacting manufacturers like HB14-1013, a bill that would provide grant money for internships with companies in the Advanced Industries. The bill is up for hearing on February 13th and a couple of MLG members, Tom McNamara with Foam Fabricators and Mark Welle with Wesco Laser, will testify in support of the bill. Look for an update soon!

 

If you are interested in testifying in support of any bills, please let Danielle know!
