"The Birmingham Business Alliance (BBA) is committed to the support of Small, Minority, and Disadvantaged Businesses in Birmingham. COVID has had a major impact on businesses of all sizes, and the Doing Business in Alabama Minority Business Training Pilot Project is needed. The project aligns well with the mission of our organization. This is an excellent opportunity to continue work in lockstep with talented service providers and resource partners, to help minority businesses to scale and grow in Birmingham."
