Report provides details on minority-owned businesses in Northeast states
October 29, 2024
A new research report published jointly by NERCRD and the Regional Research Institute provides detailed information about minority-owned businesses in the Northeast region. The report, written by West Virginia University’s Xiaoyin Li and Heather M. Stephens and NERCRD’s Stephan Goetz, highlights the differences in minority entrepreneurship across the region, which in turn can support the development of policies to promote minority business development. The report was developed as part of the USDA NIFA-funded project, “Factors Affecting the Success of Female and Minority Rural Entrepreneurs and Rural Economic Vitality,” led by Stephens.
