Hearing: Force of Nature: The Power of Small Businesses in America’s Recreational Infrastructure

Committee on Small Business

Wednesday, October 30, 2019 (11:30 AM)

2360 RHOB
Washington, D.C.
The economic prosperity of the nation is impacted by the growing recreational and tourism sector, which is served by many small businesses. As Congress contemplates an infrastructure package, it is important to consider the outdoor recreational infrastructure, which produced $427.2 billion in gross economic output and supported over 5.1 million jobs nationwide in 2017. The hearing will examine the economic impact of the outdoor recreational infrastructure, how small businesses contribute to this industry, and how the federal government can ensure the industry continues to positively impact the economy through a comprehensive infrastructure package.
