CAGLCC Business Wins Recovery Act Contract

OmniStudio, an NGLCC-certified business enterprise, is one of a number of LGBT-owned companies that have been awarded contracts with the federal government—contracts financed with Recovery Act funds.

Last December, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced that it had selected the Washington, D.C.-based design and communications firm to assist in the production of the National Broadband Plan.

As part of the Broadband Technology Opportunities Program established in the Recovery Act, the FCC was tasked with creating the plan. More than 400 pages, the plan, delivered to Congress on March 16, will set the course for the implementation of broadband Internet access for everyone in the United States.

"This recovery contract came at a critical time for our company," said Eileen Kessler, president of OmniStudio.

FCC's trust in us enabled Omni to hire additional staff and gave us good financial foundation for 2010." READ MORE
