Baltimore Building Firm Wins $4 Million Contract

Baltimore-based business, Matos Builders, began with high hopes of winning millions of dollars of work in their first year, but reality set in as that first September came and went with no success at all.

During this very trying time, MDAPEX counselor,Arthenia LeFlore,exceeded expectations as she acted as a motivational coach in conjunction with her role as an educator. Her positive attitude and encouragement were a critical influence on the morale of the partners at Matos.

One year later they were awarded a $4 million sole-source IDIA to renovate laboratories at Army Research Labs as well as a $98,000 job to repair a roof for GSA. Matos credits Arthenia for significantly contributing to their success.
