Four NYC businesses were featured on the 2013 Inner City 100 List, an annual list by Initiative for a Competitive Inner City (ICIC) that honors the fastest-growing companies in America.
This year’s leading company is Happy Family, a NYC-based organic food brand. Two of this year’s winners are graduates of Strategic Steps for Growth: International Asbestos Removal Inc. (#28) and InfoPeople Corporation (#31). Brooklyn-based Tumbador Chocolate (#52) was also included in this year’s list.
Recently, Mayor Michael Bloomberg congratulated the NYC-based companies at City Hall.
