The Governor's Small Business Task Force Visits Rochester ROCHESTER, NY (WXXI) - The governor's Small Business Task Force was in Rochester Thursday morning to hear the concerns of the local business community.

Task force chairman Bill Grinker--who did not make the trip--says business owners around the state are concerned about access to capital and surviving in the current economy.

The governor established the task force last summer to come up with strategies for developing small business in New York State.

Grinker expects the task force to issue a report to the governor by the end of the month.

The task force is about half-way through its schedule of statewide workshops.

Grinker says 98 percent of all businesses in New York State are small businesses.
