Businesses owned by Black, Indigenous and people of color are eligible to receive technical assistance and development services through a new collaboration between Gov. Phil Scott’s office, the Vermont Department of Economic Development and the nonprofit Vermont Professionals of Color Network.
“Building equity across the state is a priority of my Administration and that means including all of our community members in these efforts,” Scott said in a press release. “This exciting partnership will help support businesses, our workforce, and further assist Vermont’s economic development efforts.”
Vermont Professionals of Color was awarded the contract to run the program.
