New York District Small Business Industry Day

This is a SPECIAL NOTICE to announce an INDUSTRY DAY for New York District Small Business Industry Day to be held on 13 April 2022, beginning 10:00 am.

Small businesses will have the opportunity to meet with other small businesses as well provide capability statements to members of the New York District Corps of Engineers.
