The “Fueling Business Growth” campaign is an initiative that builds on the 35-year-old “Buy West Philadelphia” program, aiming to connect with and support local, minority, LGBT, and women-owned businesses when buying anything—from medical and scientific materials to services like construction, information technology, and catering.
