SMALL
BUSINESSES IN HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT OR LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES GET A BOOST FROM UNCLE
SAM! PORTLAND,
OR –Small
businesses located in economically distressed communities will now receive priority for Federal
Government purchases exceeding $100,000 through the Historically Underutilized
Business Zone (HUBZone) Program. Through
these contracts, small businesses can revitalize their local economies and
stimulate business activity by creating new jobs and investments in their local
communities. In
Oregon, Urban
HUBZones include census tracts in the cores of Portland, Eugene, Medford,
Corvallis, Forest Grove, La Grande and Seaside.
In Oregon, Rural HUBZone
counties include Baker, Coos, Crook, Curry, Douglas, Grant, Hood River,
Josephine, Klamath, Lake, Linn, Malheur, Morrow, Wallowa and Wheeler. Southwest Washington HUBZones include all of Lewis, Skamania,
Klickitat, and Pacific counties and urban census tracts in Vancouver and
Longview. All federally
recognized Native American Reservation
Lands are also designated as HUBZones. To
benefit from this program businesses must be certified. Potential applicants can
determine if their company is located within a HUBZone, apply for certification,
or obtain a list of certified firms by accessing SBA’s web site at www.sba.gov/hubzone.
