President Bush Visits PIA/GATF Member Printer in Virginia

President Bush Visits ColorCraft of Virginia, Inc. and Discusses Stimulus Package

Audio of the President's remarks

On March 26, President George W. Bush toured and gave brief remarks at ColorCraft of Virginia in Sterling, VA. The President highlighted employees at Colorcraft who will receive individual rebates and discussed the company’s plans to take advantage of the enhanced Section 179 expensing provided by the bill. As you may be aware, PIA lobbied Congress to include small business-friendly tax provisions in the stimulus package. Printers can now take advantage of increased Section 179 expensing and bonus depreciation deduction to modernize and grow their business even in this economically difficult time. If you know how your business plans on taking advantage of these provisions, please fill out the PIA/GATF online survey.
