The City of Lexington is moving forward with various recommendations to improve its business climate with minority and women owned businesses. Several suggestions were discussed this week at City Hall during a Council committee meeting. Minority Business Enterprise Program Director Sherita Miller said a small, local business enterprise program is under construction.
“The overall goal is to consider reserving certain small contracts exclusively for small local businesses bidding on or to bid as prime contractors. The result will create a more competitive edge for small local businesses as opposed to them competing with other large businesses,” said Miller.
