The City of Fayetteville and Fayetteville Public Works Commission are partnering to hire a firm to conduct a disparity study in the area.
Conducting the study is Griffin & Strong P.C., a law and public policy consulting firm based in Atlanta, Georgia. They offer a full-range of services but have become well-known for their disparity studies and diversity consulting. GSPC has existed for more than 29 years and has conducted more than 100 studies in public and private sectors.
Their recent projects include the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, The College Football Hall of Fame, The National Center for Civil and Human Rights, The New World of Coca-Cola and FedExForum.
The study will evaluate the effectiveness of policies in the area and how they affect local, minority and women-owned businesses. The organization may also recommend ideas and modifications to PWC and City of Fayetteville.
The meeting will be presided by GSPC and will be part of public record; comments made during the meeting may be recorded and used for the study.
The first meeting will be 5-6:30 p.m. on Aug. 25 on Zoom. Registration is not required, but encouraged. People interested in participating can sign up online.
