quarterly HUBZone Business Meeting on Thursday,

businesses gain preferential access to federal procurement opportunities while also increasing
employment opportunities in economically distressed areas. In an effort to assist local
businesses with navigating the HUBZone certification process, the Leesburg Economic
Development Office has partnered with local business owners who have completed the process
successfully to present quarterly information sharing meetings.
