Anne Arundel County released a study examining the County\u2019s Small, Woman, or Minority Business Enterprise (SWMBE) program. County Executive Steuart Pittman requested the study to provide the County with data analysis around areas of County spending with low utilization of SWMBE firms, and to help the County better strategize on ways to increase spending in those categories moving forward.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$

\u201cSupporting Small, Woman, Veteran, and Minority-owned Business Enterprises helps our County and helps our local economy,\u201d County Executive Steuart Pittman said. \u201cThis report helps bolster the work already in progress, while providing a roadmap for where we can improve our processes and policies moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\nThe report, completed by CH Advisors Inc., can be found here<\/a>. The study looked at the County\u2019s use of SWMBE firms for fiscal years 2017 through 2021, and compared the use to availability ratio of such firms in the County\u2019s geographic and industry market areas. It also reviewed potential barriers to opportunities for these firms, and looked at the experiences of both primary and subcontracts.<\/p>\n $\"\"$
