Goal: Grow Cincinnati's Minority Firms by $1B in Five Years

The Enquirer

The Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber plans to put the pedal to the metal on its Minority Business Accelerator. It unveiled a new goal Thursday: Take the accelerator, which has booked $1 billion in sales and hired 3,500 people since it was created in 2003, and double its aggregate sales and jobs in five years. In other words, the chamber wants the next half-decade to cover the same ground as the accelerator’s first 13 years.
