Hoeven Addresses Forward Devils Lake, Outlines Work to Advance Economic Growth, Jobs

Statement

Senator John Hoeven today told a gathering of Forward Devils Lake, the region's economic development organization, that whether you're working on the federal, state or local level, job creation has to be job number one. Devils Lake is poised for growth, he said, and as a member of the Senate Appropriations and Agriculture Committees, Hoeven is working to support their efforts to grow the local economy and create good jobs for residents.

"We're working hard to create a business environment that will help communities like Devils Lake grow and create good jobs for their region," Hoeven said. "That includes lifting the ban on crude oil exports, passing the longest-term highway bill since 1998 and approving a tax reform bill with $680 billion in tax relief. In addition, with the lake now stabilized, opportunities for investment are growing."
