BUSINESS DIVERSITY

We support supplier diversity. Every relationship is critical to the success of the ATLNext project, and we are committed to establishing partnerships that reflect the diverse community around us.

Who We Are

The ATLNext team knows the added value of integrating and including small, minority and female-owned firm participation in Atlanta Airport’s capital improvement program. Diverse suppliers enable an original, first-class and cost-effective airport modernization plan that reflects the city’s southern charm and hospitality, multi-cultural setting, historical significance and global magnitude.

We are liaisons between the City of Atlanta and the construction community. We are advocates for all qualified businesses that want to work on ATLNext. We are stewards who disseminate information and offer direction to local, state and regional contractors and their communities to ensure equal business opportunities in construction and transportation.

What We Do

In conjunction with the Department of Aviation and the City of Atlanta Office of Contract Compliance, we identify, recruit and retain qualified small, minority and female–owned businesses that want to participate in the Airport’s capital improvement program.

We open aviation-related contracting opportunities from the City to all businesses regardless of race, gender or ethnicity to create an equal opportunity marketplace and workforce.
