Minority firms receive 22 percent of airport contracts


Minority-owned companies have snagged 22 percent of the $749.1 million in contracts committed through 2006 for the midfield terminal project at Indianapolis International Airport, the airport authority told the Indianapolis Business Journal today.

Minority companies received $167.5 million of the total contracts. Women own slightly more than half of the 189 minority companies that received the contracts. Racial minorities own the balance.

The $1.1 billion project is expected to be completed in late 2008. It will include the terminal, a parking garage and new roads.
