Alderman Sawyer (6th) Wants More For Minority Businesses
Sawyer focused heavily on the reform of Chicago’s Minority owned Business (MBE) Procurement Program, which provides a greater opportunity for minority-owned businesses to receive city contracts. This program creates new opportunities in middle-class minority communities that have seen record levels of disinvestment over the last several years, according to Sawyer.
