I listened to Governor Cuomo's State of the State on C-Span.

New York State offers assistance  (click here) to minority-owned & women-owned businesses (MWBEs) in many different areas. We help eliminate barriers for MWBEs seeking to participate in state contracts and provide information and resources that increase access to information and opportunities for minority and women-owned businesses throughout the State. New York's Division of Minority and Women's Business Development (DMWBD) promotes the equality of economic opportunities for MWBEs.

The
Business First Resource Center provides one-stop shopping for many state resources, but to speak with someone about your specific business needs, please contact New York's Division of Minority and Women's Business Development at (212) 803-2414.

This is one of the resources he claims to be the most successful program in the country to move minorities and women out of poverty and the working poor. He expanding the program to upstate New York this year.

Governor Cuomo in his State of the State laid claim to more New York institutions that lead the country in their purpose in improving the lives of New Yorkers. He is innovative and willing to try options to move the state into a place where all people have opportunity and upward movement.
