Senate Bill 914

Senate Bill 914 was enacted by the North Carolina State Legislature to encourage the use of “Good Faith Efforts” by all state agencies in the recruitment and selection of minority firms to reach a verifiable ten percent (10%) participation level on state construction projects. The University of North Carolina at Charlotte has adopted The University of North Carolina Plan to Increase Utilization of Historically Underutilized Businesses in Construction Projects to demonstrate our commitment to exceeding this goal.
