"Small businesses, like Implant Sciences, help maintain a solid foundation for our local economy," Congressman John Tierney said. "Implant Sciences is manufacturing homeland security equipment right here at home and creating jobs for members of our community. I look forward to discussing how Congress' policies have and can support innovation leading to the creation of more jobs by small businesses," Congressman Tierney said.
