SWANSEA – To promote resources available to small businesses and hear from local owners and entrepreneurs, State Senator Christopher Belt is accepting applications to tour shops, restaurants and other establishments in the 57^th Senate District.

“There are many local businesses in the Metro East that provide great services, but are often overlooked,” said Belt (D-Swansea). “I want to show my support, uplift owners and promote these amazing small businesses to let residents know the importance of supporting them.”

Applications are open, and interested business owners can find the application here. The program will start in the coming weeks and Belt requests that businesses submit their applications soon. Once an application is received, a member of Belt’s team will respond with additional details.

Those with questions can contact Belt’s office at 618-416-2452 or visit SenatorBelt.com.
