Recovery for all of us: Major de Blasio calls on the state legislature to pass community hiring and MWBE Bills.

-New Analysis from the new school economist Dr James Parrot Shows how the community hiring would use the citys purchasing power to create 200,000 jobs over 5 years for low income neighborhoods.

-MEBE legislation would expand contract oppurtunities reform comstruction insurance and allow the city to prefer bidders who have policies that lead to diverse workforces giving MWBE firms the tools to lead NYC’s economic recovery.

- Please help our community business grow and expand.
