What happened to the Community Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (CDBE) Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprise (M/WBE) Programs?
The County’s CDBE Program was replaced by the County Business Enterprise (CBE) Program on June 23, 2009 by the Board of Broward County Commissioners. The MWBE Program has been suspended, in response to the need to complete a new Disparity Study to ensure that the Broward County’s minority and women-owned business program was operating at an optimal level, to ensure fairness to all Broward County businesses. Upon completion of the Disparity Study, the County Commission will respond to the consultant’s recommendations for any identified disparity, to ensure a level playing field for all firms, regardless of race or gender background.
