CTA hosting networking event, offering businesses to take part of Red Line extension

CHICAGO (CBS) -- Opportunities are waiting for businesses to be part of the proposed CTA Red Line extension.

A networking event will be held today to help small and disadvantaged businesses get connected.

It's a large project - a $3.6 billion extension of the Red Line on the South Side from 95th Street, where it ends now, to 130th Street.

The CTA hopes minority and women-owned firms will want to be sub-contractors.

The networking event will be held at CTA headquarters from 9 a.m. to noon.
