The Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh is committed to providing equal employment opportunities to minorities and women and equal opportunities for business growth and development to minority and women entrepreneurs. It is the Authority's objective to increase minority and women's participation in its contract with the goal being that twenty five percent (25%) of the contract amount is expended for minority participation and ten percent (10%) of the contract amount is expended for women's participation.
See the URA's formal policy statement on M/WBE participation.
