Disadvantaged, minority, women-owned businesses comprise 30% of spending
Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority (MSCAA) has released its 2018 Business Diversity Development report. According to the report, Disadvantaged, Minority and Women Business Enterprises (D/M/WBEs) were awarded 30% of the $55 million total spent in the areas of construction, professional services and goods & services contracts. This represents an increase of 3% in D/M/WBE spending compared to 2017.
Michael Fulton, Government Affairs Director for Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority (MSCAA), was recently selected as one of the Memphis Business Journal’s “Top 40 Under 40” honorees. According to Memphis Business Journal, “Each year, MBJ honors the best and brightest young professionals in the Mid-South who are making a difference in their professions and in the community.”
With recent passenger growth trends matching increased capacity by airlines, Memphis International Airport (MEM) is preparing for a significant surge in travelers during the Thanksgiving travel period. The airport estimates that as many as 1,000-1,500 additional passengers per day could travel through MEM during this time. As a result, some vendors are adjusting their hours of operation and the airport plans to employ additional parking measures.
