The Lehi City Council has created a Small Business Advisory Council made up of 20 local business owners who live in the city, the Lehi Free Press reported. [1]
Council member James Harrison told the paper the goal is for the city to be a better partner to small businesses by learning what they need, what hinders their growth and where red tape can be cut. [1]
Member BreAnn Beckstrom, who owns B.E.S.T Electrical, said she hopes the group builds trust between owners and the city and helps "level the playing field," arguing that large developers have access to tax breaks and other opportunities that small operators do not, according to the report. [1]
The council met for the first time Oct. 7 at the Lehi Civic Center and elected a chair and vice chair. Its meetings are open to the public, the Free Press reported. [1]
