The Kentucky Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE)eNewsletter, published quarterly, is designed to deliver valuable information and insights on the Louisville-Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges Project (LSIORBP) to its varied team of managers, coordinators, contractors, suppliers and the community at large.

From the KY DBE Program Manager...

Business growth is the primary focus of most businesses, not the least of which is certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprises. With contracting work scarce and competition fierce, business owners are working hard to gain an edge over the competition, building stronger relationships with customers and looking for ways to innovate, either through business services, processes or the way they market themselves.

  The successful business owner leaves no stone unturned, no resource uninvestigated and no opportunity wasted. Many small business owners are taking a look at their business development resources and cost-cutting measures to increase cash flow.

In this eNewsletter, we provide many resources for engaging your business in online government contracting resources.

However, your business development/marketing plan should be dynamic and incorporate a broad variety of tools to meet your goals.

If you are working hard to develop sales, contracts and revenue, you need to make sure your business is prepared internally to handle the growth that will result from your efforts.

The KY DBE Program Management team is here to provide assistance in a number of areas to help prepare your business for opportunities. Please let us know how we can assist you.

Sincerely,


Tierra,
Tierra Kavanaugh Turner
