As a city, we recognize the importance of providing equitable opportunities for all Richmonders. Although more work is needed, we are united by the ambitious initiatives moving us toward a more inclusive future. The City’s Equity Agenda provides a roadmap to address historical injustices in our city, and the Strategic Plan for Equitable Economic Development (SPEED) informs all economic development efforts and aims to build a more equitable, inclusive, and sustainable economy for Richmond. The Human Rights Campaign gave the City of Richmond a perfect score for its non-discrimination policies, programs, and efforts. In addition, the City’s Office of Minority Business Development helps to advance opportunities for disadvantaged and minority business enterprises.
