New committee established for minority and women-owned businesses

June

A new special committee of the Westchester County Board of Legislators will be formed to focus on the needs of minority and women-owned business enterprises. Board of Legislators Chairman William Ryan said the principal goal of the panel is to strengthen existing minority and women-owned businesses in the county and promote the growth of these segments of the economy.

“Small and mid-tier businesses and the jobs in these segments are the core of the local economy,” Ryan said. “Job creation is the key to pulling out of this economic recession.” Ryan named Legislator Lyndon Williams (D-Mount Vernon) to serve as chair of the new committee, which will have direct oversight over the county’s programs for minority and women-owned business and bid-contract award process.
