The
HUBZone (Historically Underutilized Business Zone) program, established by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), promotes economic growth in disadvantaged areas. Businesses located in designated HUBZones can access federal contracting advantages, such as set-asides and competitive bidding opportunities. To qualify, companies must meet specific criteria, including operating within a HUBZone and employing a workforce where at least 35% reside in these zones. This initiative stimulates job creation and development in economically distressed communities, ensuring resources are directed where they are most needed. The HUBZone program empowers small businesses to thrive while fostering revitalization and sustainable growth in underserved areas.
