In the midst of these pivotal events, Ferguson 1000’s Co Founder Dr. Lance McCarthy created a new model that desires to level the playing field and one of the key elements of this model is economic empowerment. By creating a more inclusive dialogue between the leadership and the communities that they serve, Baltimore was the first expansion city of Ferguson 1000. LA 1000 is the third. The goal is to duplicate the same success as in Ferguson 1000 in cities nationwide
NFL Legend Ray Lewis has had success in the tech world via his solar energy business. Therefore when Dr. Lance McCarthy of Ferguson 1000 decided to expand nationwide. Ray was the perfect partner.
