UPP Pulls-Up to Support Community Small Businesses in St. George<\/strong><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The UPP recognizes that small businesses are an important economic engine for both local communities and the national economy. Not only do they play an important role in driving business but also in strengthening the community spirit The Business Cowboy<\/a><\/p>\n

On Saturday 27th August, members of the United Progressive Party (UPP) will show support for small businesses throughout the constituency of St. George. A convoy of supporters will gather at the popular food spot on Pigotts Main Road which features close to a dozen vendors. The group will also make stops in New Winthorpes, Barnes Hill and end in Potters. Along the route, they will patronize chefs, artisans, farmers and other vendors to help spark business activity in the community.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cIt is time to support our small businesses, many of whom are struggling to make ends meet. We want to inspire dreamers to become successful, and individuals with ideas to create teams with vision,\u201d said Algernon Watt, UPP Candidate for St. George.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The UPP believes that when more money is spent in the community, not only does this empower small businesses, but the entire community benefits. St. George is the second constituency to be featured in the \u201csmall business pull-up\u201d initiative that is designed to spotlight community businesses and help generate new customers and well needed economic activity. It will also provide an opportunity for the UPP team to engage vendors one-on-one and share the Party\u2019s plans and policies to support small businesses.<\/p>\n
