Hub Zone
The City of Shamokin has the only designated Hub Zone in Northumberland County.

What is the HUBZone Program? The HUBZone ( Historically Underutilized Business Zone) Program stimulates economic development and creates jobs in urban and rural communities by providing federal contracting preferences to small businesses. These preferences go to small businesses that obtain HUBZone certification in part by employing staff who live in a HUBZone. The company must also maintain a "principal office" in one of these specially designated areas. The program resulted from provisions contained in the Small Business Reauthorization Act of 1997.

For more information visit: http://www.sba.gov/hubzone/ and you can also download the Hub Zone Map for more details of the Hub Zone area.
