RESOLUTION 25-4
A RESOLUTION DESIGNATING MAY 4 THROUGH MAY 10, 2025, AS NATIONAL SMALL
BUSINESS WEEK IN THE CITY OF MCHENRY, MCHENRY COUNTY, ILLINOIS
WHEREAS, America’s progress has been driven by pioneers who think big, take risks and work
hard; and
WHEREAS, from the storefront shops that anchor Main Street to the high-tech startups that
keep America on the cutting edge, small businesses are the backbone of our economy and the
cornerstones of our nation’s promise; and
WHEREAS, small business owners and Main Street businesses have energy and a passion for
what they do; and
WHEREAS, when we support small business, jobs are created and local communities preserve
their unique culture; and
WHEREAS, because this country’s more than 33 million small businesses create nearly two out
of three jobs in our economy, we cannot resolve ourselves to create jobs and spur economic growth in
America without discussing ways to support our entrepreneurs; and
WHEREAS, the President of the United States has issued a proclamation announcing National
Small Business Week every year since 1963 to highlight the programs and services available to
entrepreneurs through the U.S. Small Business Administration and other government agencies, which
recognize the critical contributions of America’s entrepreneurs and small business owners; and
WHEREAS, as part of National Small Business Week, the U.S. Small Business Administration
takes the opportunity to highlight the impact of outstanding entrepreneurs, small business owners, and
others from all 50 states and U.S. territories; and
WHEREAS, the City of McHenry supports and joins in this national effort to help America’s small
businesses do what they do best – grow their business, create jobs, and ensure that our communities
remain as vibrant tomorrow as they are today.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT MAY 4 THROUGH MAY 10, 2025, SHALL BE DESIGNATED AS
NATIONAL SMALL BUSINESS WEEK IN THE CITY OF MCHENRY, ILLINOIS.
ADOPTED this the 7TH day of April, 2025.
