expandthe employment base" A CDC. ~esjgnation would greatly enhance these effortswhile
providing SKED with the ability to offer significant loans to businesses with larger fixedasset
needs,suchas the large-scalemachineryrequired for manufacturing jobs criticalto the
Commonwealth. This designation will in tum expandthe growthpotential for hundreds of local
businesses and provideemployment opportunities for countlessworkers for years to come,
With small businesses accountingfor 75 percentof new net jobs in our economy, it is important
for SKED to have the resourcesto aid our innovators and entrepreneurs in the Appalachian

attributable to business leadership, technology innovation, and accessto capitalthrough the
