Conviction in HUBZone Fraud Case
The term HUBZone comes from the phrase, "Historically Underutilized Business Zone"
The HUBZone Empowerment Contracting Program is designed to stimulate economic development and create jobs in urban and rural communities by providing federal contracting preferences to small businesses. These preferences go to small businesses that obtain HUBZone certification by being located in a HUBZone designated area or employing staff who live in such an area.
The program resulted from provisions contained in the Small Business Reauthorization Act of 1997. The program is administered by a staff in Washington, D.C. in cooperation with field staff located in SBA District Offices around the country.
