TAABC & The City of Toledo Waterways Initiative
On February 28, 2008, the Toledo African-American Bureau of Commerce attended the City Council hearing for the Waterways Initiative.  The Art Jones and Vince Wiggins of the TAABC gave testimonies and questioned the selection committee on issues related to Purchasing Ethics and Inclusion.  The official selection of the Engineering Contractor is postponed due to the efforts of the Bureau, key members of City Council and concerned, African-American citizens such as Larry Sykes.   TAABC member, Andrew Eribo of the Ribway Engineering Group also spoke as well.
