The People's Budget

Type of funding: Infrastructure (capital)

Rough cost estimate: Between $2 million and $7.2 million

Evaluation notes:

✅ This idea could be implemented without changing current policy or law.

❌ This City doesn't have jurisdiction to do this idea. 

✅ This idea doesn't name a specific vendor. 

✅ This idea would not incur costs indefinitely.

Justification: n/a

Other notes: Location/City needs to be identified. OED works with BIPOC businesses to ensure they have the resources, capital, technical assistance, and other business needs that would support this proposal. Funding to support more BIPOC owned businesses would build a larger ecosystem of Black businesses.
