The Community Benefits Ordinance requires 30% minority-owned businesses, 15% Cleveland Small businesses and 7% women-owned companies to be considered when contracts are considered for county projects.
CLEVELAND, Ohio — About 14 years ago, Shakorie Davis started Next Generation Construction. He said he learned at an early age about the importance of representation in the trade.
“When we're doing business inside of the community, we want to leave the community in a better shape than it was before we actually got there," said Davis. City leaders said from 2014 to 2018 of the $1.1 billion dollars in Cuyahoga County prime contract spending, just over four percent was awarded to minority and women-owned businesses, and Griffin said that's why the city recently passed the Community Benefits Ordinance.
