Connecting Historically Underutilized Business and Small Businesses to Recovery Opportunities

The N. C. Office of Economic Recovery and Investment has undertaken an awareness campaign targeted to historically underutilized businesses (HUBs), including minority and small businesses. The four-month campaign is reaching out to these groups through workshops and the use of a variety of communication vehicles to impart information and offer help with navigation of the various funding opportunities available through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).

Through Executive Order 13, “Support for Historically Underutilized Businesses,” Governor Bev Perdue addresses the importance of providing opportunities to small and historically underutilized businesses when awarding state contracts and procuring goods and services in a variety of areas, including transportation and construction.
