DETROIT -- A group of political and business heavyweights will attend a celebration in Detroit for local graduates of a national small business program.
Gov. Rick Snyder and Mayor Mike Duggan will join former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, billionaire investor Warren Buffett and others Thursday morning at Wayne State University.
The business owners are part of the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program. Bloomberg and Buffett are co-chairs of the program's advisory council.
Goldman Sachs Chief Executive Lloyd Blankfein also will attend the graduation ceremony.
The program is a $500 million investment to help small businesses across the country create jobs and economic growth by providing entrepreneurs with a practical business education, access to capital and business support services.
Goldman Sachs' commitment to Detroit and southeast Michigan is $20 million.
