Next disparity study hearing approaches

By Staff Report, posted 3 years ago

Griffin & Strong, P.C. will be hosting a virtual public hearing to hear about the experiences of the Fayetteville community that has done or attempted to do business with the City of Fayetteville and Fayetteville PWC.

This is a study that will focus primarily on local, minority- and women-owned businesses. It will also show the effectiveness of the current policies related to these minority groups, while determining if the City and PWC government are well-equipped to promote diverse representation in public contracting. 

This study will examine whether there are differences between: the percentage of dollars that minority- and women- owned businesses received in contracts during specific time periods and the percentage of dollars that the businesses should expect to receive based on their performances as stated in the contract.

The private hearing will provide valuable information about how the City of Fayetteville and Fayetteville PWC is doing with local-, minority-, and women-owned businesses when it comes to contracts and purchasing.

The results of this study will demonstrate and identify better ways these organizations can serve the community based on the contracts they hold. 

There are two scheduled dates for the hearing, Feb. 2 at 5 p.m. and Feb. 3 at 12 p.m. Advanced registration is encouraged but not required.
