Twin Cities, MN (PRWEB) July 26, 2006

The National Association of Minority and Women Owned Law Firms (NAMWOLF) commends the Hennepin County Board, the Minnesota Twins construction officials, and University of Minnesota officials for their efforts in requiring that minority and women-owned firms participate in the construction process of a new Minnesota Twins baseball stadium and a new U of M football stadium.

Emery Harlan, Chairman of NAMWOLF remarked, “NAMWOLF is pleased to hear of the expected participation of minority and women-owned construction firms for the building process of the two Minnesota sports stadiums.” He added, “The inclusion of such firms provides them with great opportunities and supports our cause of promoting the utilization of minority and women-owned firms. We strongly encourage minority and women-owned construction firms to participate in the stadium-building projects.”

The construction of both the Minnesota Twins baseball stadium and University of Minnesota football stadium is planned to begin summer 2007. According to Ezell Jones of Premier Network Services Group, stadium construction is estimated at $ 1 billion. A general contractor will be selected later this year after a competitive bidding process involving diverse construction firms.

The National Association of Minority & Women Owned Law Firms (www.namwolf.org) was founded in June, 2001. It is a national trade association comprising a select group of minority and women-owned law firms who exhibit excellence in the legal profession. The primary aim of the organization is to advocate for the increased utilization of minority and women-owned law firms by major corporations and public entities throughout the United States.
