Missoula County, Montana to give 5% preference to minority, women-owned businesses
After months of talk and revision, Missoula County has implemented a new resolution giving automatic preference to minority- and women-owned businesses when they complete for county contracts.
Along the way, the county will also complete a study to see what other barriers minority businesses face in Missoula County.
“I’d like to know what those barriers are and how to remove them,” said David Wall, the county’s auditor. “The only way to do that is to learn more about our market here locally in Missoula and what kind of businesses there are and the barriers they face.”
