We want to make sure everyone continues to have a fair chance to work with Ramsey County. And we recognize that businesses owned by historically marginalized groups, such as women and minorities, may face unique obstacles when trying to get contracts for construction, professional services, and other work.
To assess the county’s current situation, we’ve teamed up with 15 state and local governments in Minnesota to conduct a disparity study. A disparity study looks at what barriers may exist, how they affect businesses, and possible solutions.
