Melvin J. Gravely, Ph.D. says, “I don’t know but it can stimulate some.”The government will spend $499 billion (the balance of the $787B stimulus package are tax cuts and not actual spending) designed to stimulate the United States economy. Much of the money will be spent on construction and construction-related services. Yet there are elements of the package that include opportunities for a variety of industries including professional services companies, technology firms and training organizations. The big question among minority business owners is “will the stimulus package stimulate minority business?” The fair answer is we don’t know, but the signs are becoming clearer as the money starts to flow.
