Sharon Hill – Republican Gubernatorial candidate Tom Corbett spoke today about the importance of small businesses to Pennsylvania’s economy as he toured Archway Press, Inc. in Sharon Hill.  
 
“It is time for small businesses like Archway Press to have someone on their side in Harrisburg,” said Corbett, “For far too long, state government has been an adversary to job growth.”

Tom Corbett’s plan to grow small business in Pennsylvania focuses on helping business owners and cutting through the red tape that often stands in the way of growth. Some highlights of the plan include simplifying the tax code, instituting regulatory flexibility for small businesses and repealing the Inheritance Tax.

“Small business owners are dealt too many roadblocks when trying to grow their business,” said Corbett, “They are heavily burdened by the costs of government regulation and excessive paperwork. That is why I want to change that as Pennsylvania’s next governor.” 

With over 236,000 small businesses in Pennsylvania, they are an integral part of the state’s economy and critical to its success. Tom Corbett has been personally visiting companies like Archway Press, Inc. to learn firsthand the concerns of business owners. He has discussed with business leaders and employees the importance of keeping jobs in Pennsylvania and making sure we see growth in our jobs market. 

 “I believe it is time to restore the commonwealth’s rightful position in the global marketplace by partnering with business leaders to build job creation policies that will secure Pennsylvania’s future,” said Corbett.

Archway Press, Inc. has been dealt some tough times with the recent recession, but it has kept its doors open by changing the way it does business. With its customers doing less and less printing, Archway Press, Inc. has had to make tough decisions. It has diversified its printing business as well as consolidated equipment and personnel to become more efficient.

“Archway Press is a great example of a company that has weathered the storm during the tough economic times,” said Corbett. “We need to stand behind our small businesses and make sure they continue to operate for years to come.”

“We need to encourage companies like Archway Press to grow and invest in Pennsylvania,” said Corbett. “It is critical to put money back in the hands of small business owners so they can hire more workers and expand their business.”

Archway Press, Inc. is family owned and operated and has been serving the Delaware Valley for over 65 years. The full service printing company was started in 1939 and prides itself on personalized customer service.
