Wethouder economie <strong>Ed Goossens<\/strong> onderstreepte tijdens de bijeenkomst het belang van een sterke economie voor de leefbaarheid van de gemeente.\t<\/p>\t  <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<div\n  id=\"\"\n  class=\"wrapper  wrapper__spacing-bottom-large--20 wrapper__spacing-bottom-desktop--10 wrapper__spacing-bottom-mobile--10  wrapper__gutter--none\"\n  >\n  \t<div class=\"wrapper__container wrapper__container-width-large--default\">\n\t  <div class=\"wrapper__inner wrapper__width-large--13 wrapper__width-desktop--20 wrapper__width-mobile--24 wrapper__offset-large--6 wrapper__offset-desktop--2 wrapper__offset-mobile--0\">\n\t\t<p\n\t\tclass=\"paragraph paragraph__align--left paragraph__color--black paragraph__size--default   block-paragraph__paragraph\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\tVoor <strong>D66-lijsttrekker Peter Smits<\/strong> is economische ontwikkeling nauw verbonden met een levendige stad en sterke lokale ondernemers. Hij pleit onder meer voor betere ondersteuning van startende ondernemers, bijvoorbeeld via een fonds dat nieuwe ondernemers in de binnenstad helpt bij het opstarten en tijdelijk kan ondersteunen bij hoge huurkosten. Ook ziet hij kansen in het organiseren van meer activiteiten in de binnenstad om ondernemers en bezoekers met elkaar te verbinden.\t<\/p>\t  <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<div\n  id=\"\"\n  class=\"wrapper  wrapper__spacing-bottom-large--20 wrapper__spacing-bottom-desktop--10 wrapper__spacing-bottom-mobile--10  wrapper__gutter--none\"\n  >\n  \t<div class=\"wrapper__container wrapper__container-width-large--default\">\n\t  <div class=\"wrapper__inner wrapper__width-large--13 wrapper__width-desktop--20 wrapper__width-mobile--24 wrapper__offset-large--6 wrapper__offset-desktop--2 wrapper__offset-mobile--0\">\n\t\t<p\n\t\tclass=\"paragraph paragraph__align--left paragraph__color--black paragraph__size--default   block-paragraph__paragraph\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\tDaarnaast wil Smits investeren in betere mobiliteit. Het station van Zaltbommel moet volgens hem uitgroeien tot een centrale hub voor de regio, met betere verbindingen naar bedrijventerreinen zoals <strong>De Wilderman<\/strong>, zodat werknemers en bezoekers deze locaties makkelijker kunnen bereiken.\t<\/p>\t  <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<div\n  id=\"\"\n  class=\"wrapper  wrapper__spacing-bottom-large--20 wrapper__spacing-bottom-desktop--10 wrapper__spacing-bottom-mobile--10  wrapper__gutter--none\"\n  >\n  \t<div class=\"wrapper__container wrapper__container-width-large--default\">\n\t  <div class=\"wrapper__inner wrapper__width-large--13 wrapper__width-desktop--20 wrapper__width-mobile--24 wrapper__offset-large--6 wrapper__offset-desktop--2 wrapper__offset-mobile--0\">\n\t\t<p\n\t\tclass=\"paragraph paragraph__align--left paragraph__color--black paragraph__size--default   block-paragraph__paragraph\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\tDe bijeenkomst werd afgesloten met de verkiezingsquiz <strong>\u201810 voor economie\u2019<\/strong>.
