North Shore Diversity Catalog 2022 Features Nearly 250 Businesses

SALEM, MA — The 2022 edition of the North Shore Diversity Catalog includes nearly 250 entries of Black-, women- and minority-owned businesses and vendors throughout Beverly, Lynn, Marblehead, Peabody, Salem and Swampscott.

This year's 249 entries are nearly double the 138 that the inaugural 2021 Directory included.

The Diversity Catalog is designed to assist municipalities in improving equity and diversity in municipal contracts and bids and provides residents and other businesses with a single, comprehensive catalog of such businesses that they can support.

"I am very excited to continue this effort and share the 2022 North Shore Diversity Catalog," Salem Mayor Kim Driscoll said. "This directory is not only a mechanism for regional municipalities as they strive to diversify their procurement efforts, it is also a marketing tool for our local businesses and a resource for those who wish to support our diverse small business community."

This year's Diversity Catalog can be found here.
