We highlight 5 Key Areas of Equitable Economic Development Opportunities for Businesses and Individuals alike; Government Contracting, Supplier Diversity Match Making, and Funding Opportunities (Traditional Bank Loans, Grants, Small Business Contests, Angel & Venture Funding, and Finally Crowd-Sourcing Pitches).

 

On the Individual Aspect of Economic Development, we are interested in partnering with Worforce Development Agencies, Non Profits, and others to offer the best available Jobs and Internships in our Community!

 

 

The primary purpose of the Minority Report publication and website now is to expose the available capacity here in the Region and to encourage this dialogue statewide with a roll-out plan to take place in Baton Rouge, Lafayette, and Shreveport on a quarterly basis in the year of 2015. The Report is a resource guide for businesses owned and operated by diverse members of the community who will benefit by being centrally located in a publication accessible to the local, state, and federal government, privately-owned businesses, political leaders, and especially residents of the local community. The Minority Report extends its reach to every citizen to participate and display their unique products, abilities, and services.

 

To conclude, Our goal is to be responsible for $1 billion in business activity over the next 5 years by matching these companies with corporate firms and city, state, and federal opportunities who subcontract tasks/jobs through requests for proposals or direct hire agreements.
