DETROIT, MI- Three Detroit companies rank among the fastest-growing urban businesses in America, according to recent findings.

Fortune Magazine, along with Competitive Inner City (ICIC), this week released the "2012 Inner City 100," a list of the fastest-growing inner city companies in the U.S., and Motown's own DMC Consultants, Powerlink Facilities Management Services and Edibles Rex were ranked second, 83rd and 92nd, respectively.

"This is further proof that the city of Detroit is a very good place to start and grow a business," said Detroit Economic Growth Corp. Business Retention Manager Kenyetta Hairston Bridges in a statement.

Companies were ranked by compound annual growth rate based on their revenue over the five-year period between 2006 and 2010, the last year for which complete data was available.

ICIC selected the top 100 companies, which hail from 46 cities in 30 states, from more than 2,000 solicited nominations, according to officials.

“We are delighted to celebrate businesses that are playing a critical role in revitalizing communities across the country,” said Mary Kay Leonard, ICIC president and CEO. “Through their achievements, the Inner City 100 winners exemplify America’s remarkable potential and the future of our urban centers.”

In the last 14 years, 720 different companies have earned positions on the Inner City 100, collectively generating more than $2.2 billion in annual revenues and creating nearly 73,000 new jobs, officials said.
