Disadvantaged Business Legislation

Governor Roy Cooper signed a bill last Friday that will make working easier for small, disadvantaged businesses.  

The bill will allow NCDOT's Office of Civil Rights the ability to set goals and limit competition for professional service contracts to small, disadvantaged businesses.
