$500,000 Study Still on the Shelf in Augusta After 5 Years
Wednesday, July 9th, 2014
A 2009 study found the city of Augusta did business with less than seven percent of firms owned by women or minority groups.
Those groups own more than 30 percent of businesses in the area.
"It's more than an embarrassment," said Commissioner Alvin Mason.
Two minority business owners say for Augusta that's business as usual.
"It's been very difficult to do business with the city of Augusta and that's been historical," said Diverse Enterprise Johnnie Williams.
