In this regard, the office actively seeks the participation of Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUB), which are minority-owned and woman-owned companies, in its construction projects.

HUB Certification

State certification as a HUB will increase your business' visibility with general contractors and others trying to win State contracts and provide you with a broader range of opportunities. The process for becoming certified, while it does require gathering some information, is generally not complicated.
