Carney named to national governors’ economic committee

Gov. John Carney will serve on the National Governors Association’s Economic Development and Commerce Committee, where he will exchange ideas on economic growth with fellow governors.

“Governors have the unique ability to demonstrate leadership on economic issues, help drive economic growth, and create an atmosphere that will lead to the creation of good-paying jobs across our states,” said Carney said.

Carney is conducting throughout August a statewide jobs and economy tour to meet with business leaders.

“In Delaware, we’re already focused on restructuring economic development efforts to focus on helping small businesses and entrepreneurs grow, and on fostering innovation,” he said. “Working together to improve our economy is not a partisan issue, and I’m looking forward to serving with governors of both parties on the committee.”
