The Asheville Business Inclusion Initiative is actively working to increase equity in contracting.
The Asheville Business Inclusion Initiative actively seeks to identify minority and women-owned businesses for an opportunity to participate as providers of goods and services to the city.
The Asheville Business Inclusion Initiative approach starts by recognizing that the disparities we observe today result from overtly racist and sexist policies in the past combined with present-day policies and procedures that, while not overtly racist or sexist, nevertheless actively perpetuate those disparities.
The Asheville Business Inclusion Initiative program intends to widen opportunities for participation, increase competition, and ensure the proper and diligent use of public funds.
Who is this program for?
Minority-owned and women-owned businesses wanting or doing business with the City of Asheville.
What problem does it solve?
Often minority-owned or women-owned businesses could face unique challenges.
How does it help?
The Asheville Business Inclusion Initiative aims to increase the city's awareness of available minority, women, and small business vendors, increasing minority, women, and small business utilization in city contracting and promoting existing and start-up development of small business growth and profitability.
