LAMAR COUNTY, Miss. - A Pine Belt couple was recognized nationally by the Small Business Administration (SBA) for their work with minority-owned businesses. What started as Tony Reimonenq, Jr.’s vision for a new Black Wall Street is now coming to life in Lamar County. Along with his wife, Liz, Reimonenq has helped fill a once-empty plaza by giving a diverse group of businesses an opportunity. “We are 70% minority business owners,” Reimonenq told WDAM. He helps people open businesses and expand businesses by way of accessing capital at mainstream banks and business plan developments and through understanding business financials. The SBA awarded the Reimonenqs the 2023 Minority Business Champions of the Year. Their work has also garnered attention on national platforms like ABC’s Good Morning America.
