Virtual Public Hearing Session to be held by Florida Hispanic American Chamber of Commerce
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Sept. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- As part of the West Palm Beach 2026 Disparity Study, Griffin & Strong and the Florida Hispanic American Chamber of Commerce are hosting a virtual Public Hearing session in Spanish to gather community input. The session will be hosted via Zoom and is scheduled for Monday, October 20, 2025, from 7 - 8 p.m. ET.
The public hearings are to gather input from business owners and community members who have done business with the City, attempted to do business with the City, or chosen not to do business with the City. Community participation is essential to ensure diverse voices are heard and to advance more equitable outcomes.
The Disparity Study aims to evaluate whether Minority-owned and Women-owned businesses have equitable access to City contracts in Construction, Professional Services (CCNA), Professional Services (non-CCNA), Other Services, and Goods. If disparities are identified, the study will examine potential contributing factors and recommend strategies to improve equity in the City's procurement process.
