UC Economics Center researchers are now conducting a survey of Black-owned businesses in the Columbus region, on behalf of the Women’s Center for Economic Opportunity. The purpose of the study is to measure the economic impact of those businesses on the region.
A similar project done on behalf of the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky African American Chamber of Commerce (AACC) surveyed Black-owned businesses throughout Southwest Ohio. Our researchers found that the economic impact of Black-owned businesses on the Southwest Ohio region totals more than $2.1 billion dollars.
