Stimulation of the Local Economy

In an effort to stimulate the local economy, foster development and promote efficiency in the

provision of city services and the completion of various city projects, the City of Winston-Salem

has undertaken an initiative to strongly encourage all parties contracting with the City of

Winston-Salem to evaluate their internal operations and hiring practices and, where appropriate,

to initiate efforts to stimulate the local economy by hiring applicants and contractors from the

Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Area and by utilizing minority and women contractors and

service providers. Such efforts to stimulate the local economy may be accomplished by posting

job vacancies with the North Carolina Employment Security Commission, the Piedmont Triad

Regional Council of Governments, and the Winston-Salem Urban League; and utilizing the State

of North Carolina Office for Historically Underutilized Business database

(https://www.ips.state.nc.us/IPS/vendor/SearchVendor.aspxt=hobtain) or other local resources

such as the City of Winston-Salem M/WBE Program to identify Winston-Salem/Forsyth County

based contractors and subcontractors. Stimulation of the local economy requires a collaborative

effort of both the public and private sector. The city is committed to taking reasonable steps to

achieve said goal.
