U.S. Rep. Nita Lowey will hold small business assistance workshops in Westchester and Rockland counties next week as part of ongoing efforts to educate business owners about the resources at their disposal.
The workshops will be held Aug. 16. The first will take place at Westchester Community College in Valhalla at 10 a.m., and the second will be held at the Clarkstown town hall at 1 p.m.
