The City of Chicago's M/W/DBE programs, under threat from a U.S. Supreme Court ruling and a nationwide USDOT DBE injunction sought in Mid-America Milling Company v. USDOT, have received support from the Mayor and Members of the Chicago City Council. The city, which has committed over $2,720,000,000 to small, diverse, and veteran-owned firms through the O’Hare 21 Program and certified over 2,500 diverse businesses, is urging the United States Congress to take immediate action to protect these programs.
