Jim Risch: “The Antares Reactor Project is only the beginning.”

Opening an Idaho-based VBOC will improve the SBA’s outreach, counseling, and business training for Gem State veterans, reducing barriers to entrepreneurship and providing them resources to achieve self-sufficiency.

Idaho veterans who answered the call to serve our country should not face delays in accessing their earned benefits.

Whether they are a veteran, first responder, community leader, or volunteer, these Idahoans embody the values that have defined our state for 136 years.

I urge the Senate to pass them quickly so these treasured resources can continue serving Idahoans for generations to come.
