LIMA,
Ohio (Oct. 2, 2019) – The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT)
is offering a free workshop for small businesses to learn about the
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program and the
certification process.
The
workshop will provide small businesses, women and minorities, and
disadvantaged business owners the opportunity to learn about the
DBE certification process and access to participate on federally
funded highway construction and consulting services projects. In
fiscal year 2018, ODOT awarded $148,399,398 million dollars to DBE
firms.
“ODOT’s
needs in building and maintaining the valuable transportation system
we have are vast. Bringing in the business partners we need to do
that is critical. This is why we are focusing on reaching
disadvantaged and small businesses so they can share in our
successes,” said Terry Bolden, administrator, ODOT's Office of Diversity
and Inclusion, office of outreach.
