About us
The Business and Innovation Center grew from a desire to help start and grow local businesses
The Innovation Center actively supports and promotes business creation, growth and retention through education, resources, mentoring, and connecting people to the right resources at the right time.
Our partners are integral to the success of the Innovation Center. They provide essential resources, expertise, and support, helping us create a thriving environment for entrepreneurs and small businesses. Together, we are building a community that fosters innovation, growth, and collaboration.
We are deeply grateful for our incredible donors, both public and private, whose unwavering support has made the Innovation Center possible. Their generosity empowers us to continue fostering innovation, supporting local entrepreneurs, and creating opportunities for growth in our community. Without their ongoing commitment and belief in our mission, the impact we strive to make wouldn’t be possible. We thank all of our donors for their essential role in shaping the future of business innovation.
The Innovation Center’s startup accelerator, “The Hive”, is a 6-month, intensive program designed to help new businesses successfully launch in a condensed amount of time. Up to five startups will be accepted into each cycle, and those startups will be given professional mentorship, access to all of the Innovation Center’s workspaces (co-working offices, conference room and makerspaces), and financial resources. In return, we expect those startups to actively work on their businesses at least 20 hours per week with the Innovation Center for those six months.
We offer a variety of tools to bring your projects to life. Schedule an appointment to use our equipment or take a tour of the Innovation Center.
