WINTERVILLE—Pitt Community College’s Small Business Center is
assisting with a statewide program designed to help North Carolina small
businesses get back on their feet.
In July, the N.C. Department of Revenue and the N.C. Small Business
Commissioners Office launched the Small Business Taxpayer Recovery
Program (SBTRP) to assist businesses struggling financially as a result
of the nation’s economic downturn. According to a press release from
Gov. Beverly Perdue’s office, the program is currently helping more than
1,000 of the state’s small businesses.
"Companies from the mountains to the coast are benefiting from the
state’s help during these tough economic times,” said Secretary of
Revenue David Hoyle. "We have everything from restaurants, automotive
centers, and health care services to landscaping and building companies
that are using this program to get back on their feet.”
Larry Biggs, a business counselor with the PCC Small Business Center,
said his office is currently working with seven businesses through
SBTRP. Find out more about this program
