Agencies reach, but still miss some Latino businesses in Maryland

“A lack of information, plus skepticism and a language barrier, have kept many Latino-owned businesses from taking advantage of various county programs and services meant to help them succeed, say county business specialists who are trying to get the word out about their services.

Business development specialists all over Montgomery County agree that helping minority-owned businesses is crucial to the county’ economic growth. County agencies and organizations, including the Montgomery County Department of Economic Development and the Wheaton Redevelopment Program, are getting together to spread knowledge about their services. The outreach includes seminars, workshops and door-to-door meetings.”
