Spurring minority firms: Milwaukee in line for entrepreneurship initiative
The Business Journal of Milwaukee - January 7, 2005 by Phill Trewyn
Milwaukee is a possible site for a new national program aiming to initiate minority business ownership in urban areas.
The Urban Entrepreneur Partnership is led by the National Urban League and the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, a Kansas City, Mo., nonprofit organization that supports entrepreneurial endeavors.
The partnership is launching centers in five cities this year -- Atlanta, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Jacksonville, Fla. and Kansas City, Mo. -- and hopes to expand to more cities in 2006, Milwaukee being a possible location, said Marc Morial, president and chief executive officer of the National Urban League, New York.
