The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) was honored with two awards from the Greater Milwaukee Urban League (GMUL) Wednesday during the League’s annual Equal Opportunity Day Salute to Excellence.

“WEDC has deepened its commitment to minority businesses under Secretary and CEO Missy Hughes and provided sustainability support during the pandemic,” said Dr. Eve Hall, president and CEO of GMUL. “She has been candid about the need to solve economic gaps, and we are working with WEDC because we recognize that strong minority businesses provide jobs and a boost to local economies.”
