DeKalb County, as owner and operator of the DeKalb Peachtree Airport (FAA ID: PDK), is a recipient of federal grant funds from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).  As a condition of receiving the funds, the County is required to establish a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program plan, including a triennial overall DBE goal. 

In accordance with 49 CFR Part 26.45(g)(1), one of the requirements of the DBE program is to have a scheduled, direct, interactive exchange with stakeholders.  The purpose of the exchange is to become educated on the requirements of the DBE program, and to solicit input on the goal-setting process.  Stakeholders are also asked to give their input on:

17. Barriers to participation in federally funded projects
17. The effects of discrimination on opportunities for DBE firms
17. Ways to level the playing field to increase opportunities for all firms, including DBE firms.

The County has established an overall DBE goal of 16.29% for federal fiscal years (FFY) 2021-2023.  You are invited to take part in a short PowerPoint presentation via video conference, and you are invited to give input in writing or via the video conference.  Kevin Weeden of Ken Weeden & Associates, Inc. will facilitate and moderate the meeting on behalf of the County.
