We now call your attention to a special opportunity to support emerging businesses in our area. The religious community s purchasing power is second only to the federal government, which is all the reason the religious community should take the lead in this area. We must be the head lights not the tail lights. Project Equality recently partnered with Louise Hutchins, Contract Services Manager for the City of Milwaukee Department of City Development. Louise agrees with Project Equality that government business in addition to private sector work is needed to increase the capacity of emerging firms to sustain employment and to create additional new jobs for the community.
Few businesses can survive on a single revenue stream.
Each business brings its unique services from construction and plumbing to design and office furniture. We welcome these companies to Project Equality and have included a listing of these firms within this newsletter. Directing purchasing to these emerging businesses leads to thriving businesses which results in jobs in our community. Please consider joining in this important effort. We are excited about this project and will continue to report on its impact.
