Shapiro asks businesses what they need — for many, it’s SEPTA

Governor Josh Shapiro recently spent time with small business owners in Philadelphia to get a sense of their priorities. Three key topics emerged during the public discussion: state level deregulation with extra support ideas for small businesses; what Shapiro can do to save SEPTA from decline; and ways the governor can shield vulnerable residents from federal policies. Since being sworn into office in January 2023, Shapiro has pushed some bureaucratic tendencies of state government aside — from an emergency no-bid construction contract to rebuild a collapsed section of I-95 to streamlining state permits — to improve the economic competitiveness of the region. “The commonwealth has a focused effort in not just driving dollars out to small and large businesses. But making it easier for them to do business here is something the private sector is taking note of,” Shapiro said.
