There are a number of reasons companies choose to seek contract work with the government. Government contracts can help a small business grow. They can raise a business profile. They can provide a long-term source of funding.
Government contracts also generate employment and improve the economy. That’s why the Jefferson Parish Economic Development Commission (JEDCO) and the Louisiana Procurement Technical Assistance Center (LA PTAC) teamed up to bring Jefferson Parish businesses a seminar on government contracting.
