Neighborhood Improvement Jobs Opportunity Program is holding an information session for local contractors and organizations that are interested in contract work maintaining neighborhood properties.

Those interested must attend an information session on Wednesday, April 5 at the Center Street Library branch, 2727 W. Fond du Lac Ave.

“Cutting grass and shoveling sidewalks at properties where help is needed is an excellent opportunity for local entrepreneurs and nonprofits to grow their businesses and their workforces,” Alderman Stamper said. “But when these smaller groups attempted to obtain contracts for this work from the city, they would get bogged down in a complicated bidding process that favors big corporations with RFP experience.”
