The University is hosting a Vendor Fair today as part of its “Go Local” economic initiative. The event will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Drumlins Country Club ballroom.
Local business owners can meet with University purchasing managers to identify opportunities to see how their goods and services can supply the needs of the University.
Go Local is the University’s commitment to leverage the economic power of the institution to improve regional economic inclusion through four key areas: building, hiring, buying and community connections. The initiative seeks to broaden participation of local, minority, women and veteran-owned businesses in construction and service contracting opportunities; expand hiring of local residents, with a focus on neighborhoods in need of job opportunities; and increase economic growth and employment in Syracuse through the University’s purchasing activities.
