🧵In 2013 the @NYCCouncil wrote legislation & @MikeBloomberg signed into law the creation of a report (a Roadmap) for @NYC_SBS with recommendations to help #veteran owned businesses? This report came out in late 2014. Report here: www1.nyc.gov/assets/sbs/dow…

The report concluded a program for #NYC to contract w/ veteran-owned businesses was not recommended because the # was too small.
@eric_ulrich held joint Council #Veterans hearings on supporting Veterans Small businesses in 2015 and 2017 & many testifyed that the #’s were wrong.

I wrote an article in @GothamGazette prior to the 2015 Council hearing: gothamgazette.com/opinion/5520-m…
@CityAndStateNY followed up on this issue in 2018 with an article on how #NYC was EXPLORING how to better serve veteran business owners: cityandstateny.com/policy/2018/07…

#VetBizNYC, created with help from @BrooklynChamber tells us where veteran businesses are located; how you, the public & vets can support & how they can promote themselves.
But what has the de Blasio admin/agencies done in 7+ years to further assist & with the recommendations?

The @NYCCouncil is overdue to hold a hearing to get updates & learn what changes city agencies have made for #veteran owned businesses in #NYC since at least 2017. We also need data on their programs, including @NYC_SBS FastTrac® GrowthVenture™ for Vets & to hear fm the public.
