WISCONSIN – Construction Business Group’s (CBG) Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Development Initiative (DBEDI) and the Wisconsin Small Business Development Center’s Capital Access Clinic recently announced a partnership aimed at helping minority, women and other historically disadvantaged-owned businesses get a foot in the door of Wisconsin’s transportation construction industry.
“Time and time again, we see a funding gap when it comes to the capital necessary for these businesses to get a start in the industry,” Joe Davis, Sr., CBG’s DBEDI, said. “With this newly formed partnership, we hope the industry training CBG provides, matched with the expertise the Wisconsin Small Business Development Center’s Capital Access Clinic has in helping businesses raise private capital, will lead to real growth for Wisconsin’s disadvantaged transportation contractors.”
CBG Executive Director Robb Kahl described Wisconsin’s growing diversity as an asset for future growth and opportunities across the state.
“Through this important partnership with SBDC, we’re hopeful CBG can help position the transportation industry to be a leader in developing our state’s diverse talent,” he said.
