U.S. Rep. Paul Broun, who represents the 10th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives, will host his 2013 Grants and Small Business Expo next week. 

Monroe residents interested in federal grant procurement or small business loans can sit down with representatives from various federal agencies who can answer questions about application processes.
