A Statement on Inclusion

CT Wilson is committed to providing access and opportunities for businesses owned by ethnic minorities and women; groups that have been historically underutilized in the construction market. We have developed an Equal Business Opportunity Plan to encourage the participation of firms categorized by a governing authority as a minority business enterprise, including but not limited to HUB firms, MWBEs, and SDMWOB firms. CT Wilson is dedicated to having minority companies provide contractor support on projects that are constructed or managed by our firm. We provide access and opportunities within the context of the local municipality’s plan and within the constraints and obligations of national and state statutes. Our Inclusion Policy.
