The Airport Minority Advisory Council (AMAC) honored Detroit Metro Wayne County (DTW) with the 2007 Airport Concessions Award for meeting or exceeding its Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program goal for at least two years.
The Wayne County Airport Authority more than doubled its DBE participation by exceeding its goal of 20% – its concessions revenue by DBE firms was $61.9M, or 41% in fiscal year 2005. In fiscal year 2006 DTW again exceeded its 20% goal, reaching 32% participation.
