SUMMARY:Expanding Business Opportunities in Rural Wisconsin – JACKSON COUNTY - Newly Designated HUBZone
DESCRIPTION:In November 2022\, it was announced that Governor Evers’s application to the U.S. Small Business Administration for HUBZone status for Jackson and Marinette Counties was approved. \nThe HUBZone program (Historically Underutilized Business Zone) supports small business growth with a goal of awarding at least 3% of federal contract dollars as well as 3% of large federal contractor subcontracting dollars to certified companies each year. The HUBZone map now includes Jackson and Marinette counties on the SBA HUBZone map as “Governor-Designated Covered Areas.”  Currently\, many Federal agencies and Federal prime contractors are not meeting their HUBZone goals. Certified HUBZone firms have a unique preference in Federal government contracting. \nJoining the session will be representatives from: \n\nWisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) https://wedc.org/\nU.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) including Geri Sanchez Aglipay\, Region V Administrator\nWisconsin Office of Rural Prosperity https://ruralwi.com/\nRegional resource providers\nWisconsin Procurement Institute (WPI) www.wispro.org\n\nDuring this session\, you will learn about: \n\nBenefits of and applying for an SBA HUBZone certification\nHUBZone certification requirements\nThe certification process\nLocating HUBZone opportunities\nMarketing your HUBZone certified business\n\nTo view the WEDC press release about the event\, click here. \n\n
