Two months after a lawsuit against BJCC for alleged lack of spending with Black-owned firms for amphitheater construction was dismissed, BJCC reveals amount of spending with women- and minority-owned firms.

A bulldozer sits at the future site of the stage of the Birmingham Amphitheater, which is scheduled for completion by June 2025. In the background, the tall red brick building is the last part of Carraway hospital that has yet to be demolished. It was the original bed tower for the hospital, said Robert Simon, CEO of Corporate Realty. The parking deck on the right is one of four former Carraway decks being preserved for use with the new amphitheater.

because the Birmingham Jefferson Civic Complex allegedly failed to comply with an agreement to adequately include minority participation in the project. Yet in announcing her decision, the judge compelled the BJCC to take measures to elevate the inclusion of Black-, Hispanic- and women-owned companies in the project.Nearly three months later, the BJCC says 28.03% of $42,015,752 in eligible construction services contracts has been awarded to Minority Women Disadvantage Business Enterprises , while 33.08% of $2,726,200 in eligible professional services has been awarded to MWDBEs.
