             The Lumbee Tribal Council voted to establish the Lumbee Nation Development 
             Corporation, a for-profit business which the council hopes will compete 
             successfully for government set-asides for tribally-owned businesses.  The 
             council also believes this corporation will be aided by Robeson County's 
             designation as a HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) Zone.  At the June 
             Tribal Council meeting, the council will begin determining what types of 
             businesses the new corporation will target.  One idea under consideration is a 
             small construction company which acts as a protege of a larger construction 
             company.
