The MDT Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program encourages and supports the participation of companies owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals in transportation contracts.

The Lafayette County club recently held its first meeting in Darlington. The 30 people in attendance included local economic development officials, established business operators and people in various stages of developing unique concepts.
