Agencies partner to improve M/WBE certification process
Published on 05/16/2012
The Empire State Development Corporation, New York City Small Business Services and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey have joined up to streamline the minority- and women-business enterprise (M/WBE) certification process.
Instead of applying for certification with each of the M/WBE programs separately, the ESDC has introduced a "One Stop Standard Application," which will allow qualified applicants to have their state-certification application materials forwarded to the other participating agencies for consideration.
