DeKalb First (LSBE Program)

The “DeKalb First” LSBE Ordinance (Local Small Business Enterprise) was enacted on September 27, 2016, by the DeKalb County Board of Commissioners with the intention of providing earned revenue to local certified businesses through our competitive bid process.  The success of local small businesses remains a permanent goal of the County.

A mandatory LSBE meeting is held weekly, in which all primes must attend to ensure that LSBE(s) have an opportunity to connect with the interested parties in all upcoming solicitations (Mandatory-Prime DeKalb First LSBE Meetings).
