Ten Years Supporting Business

Promoting participation in Metropolitan contracting opportunities to regional, small and disabled veteran-owned businesses in Southern California is a priority for Metropolitan. Metropolitan's board

set a small business utilization goal of 18 percent and a disabled veteran businesses enterprise goal of 3 percent when the Business Outreach Program was launched in 2001. Since then, an average 32 percent of Metropolitan's contracting dollars have been awarded to small and disabled veteran-owned businesses, representing a reinvestment of

$700 million into these local businesses.
