The Portland Development Commission has historically sup­
ported the participation of economically disadvantaged busi­
nesses in Commission projects. We know that healthy and growing
small businesses are beneficial to the local economy. That’s why PDC
has taken steps to encourage use of emerging small businesses in
construction contracts and purchases of other goods and services. In
fact, 10% of certain contracts and purchases must include certified
emerging small businesses because we know' what’s good lor small
business is good for Portland. If you have a business that may qualify
and would like information on PDC projects or certification, contact
David Nemo at 823-3214.
