Diary of a Young Black Entrepreneur, # 115 in a series Minority Inclusion; On Being selected to develop the new $90-million Kimpton Hotel in Philadelphia My foundation is committed to ensuring every development I engage in sets a new standard for the inclusion of minority business opportunities in Philadelphia. McKissack and McKissack, the nation’s largest minority-owned construction company has been selected to lead that effort. The foundation of our company has been premised on equal economic opportunity. I’m a big believer that if we are going to have change ... we need to do it through economic empowerment. We picked McKissack and McKissack because I know I can count on that company to make sure that the extra effort is done to involve small minority contractors and also minority workers on the job. We’re going to make sure that this is a transformational opportunity.” -- R. Donahue Peebles, 54, Miami, chairman and CEO of the Peebles Corporation inc/magazine/20050301/howididit.html peeblescorp/ c. 2014, The BHFG
