The Office of Minority and Women Business Development (OMWBD) recognized City Wide Paving, a minority-owned business, as the Certified Vendor of the Month for February 2025.
City Wide Paving was created in 1988 and purchased by Fyzal Ohab in 1997. Inspired by his guiding principle of “going the extra mile,” City Wide Paving has provided customers with attention to detail and excellent service.
City Wide Paving’s services include asphalt paving and resurfacing, concrete sidewalks and driveways, seal coats and winter treatment services for snow and ice.
“The Office of Minority and Women Business Development’s XBE program has provided invaluable opportunities for companies like ours, enabling us to participate in major projects and contribute to the growth of the Indianapolis infrastructure,” Ohab said. “We are deeply grateful for the support and resources this program has provided and for the continued success it has helped us achieve.”

The business also works closely with several philanthropic and community-based organizations to support public health initiatives. The business supports Hear Indiana, Wheeler Mission and several schools to promote positive social determinants of health in the community.
“City Wide Paving’s dedication to uplifting our community through their professional and philanthropic services is a shining example of how individual businesses can help promote our office’s mission of fostering a climate of equity and opportunity for all in the City of Indianapolis”, said David Fredricks, OMWBD director.
