CT Dept. of Economic & Community Development Seeking Awareness of Minority Business Initiative
September 21, 2015
CT Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD) understands that increasing participation of Minority Owned Businesses in state, federal and private funding, technical assistance, and access to public contracting are key to increasing wealth and maintaining sustainable communities.To meet that end DECD is seeking to generate immediate and continued awareness about programs and services offered by the State and its partners through a concerted multi-pronged approach that combines community partnering, media management, and outreach efforts to reach target audience.
Our first step has been to establish a toll free bilingual number to assist and answer the questions of small business owners and entrepreneurs around the issues of obtaining state funding and getting access to state contracts.
That number is 1.844.257.9503.
