The Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) program fuels small business growth in historically underutilized business zones with a goal of awarding at least three percent of federal contract dollars to
HUBZone-certified companies each year. The program encourages economic development in HUBZones
through the establishment of preferences to promote economic development and employment growth in
distressed areas by providing access to more federal contracting opportunities.

This workshop will provide the following topics:

• How the HUBZone program works;

• Benefits of the HUBZone Program; and

• Eligibility for the HUBZone Program
