incubator 2003-07-13 Clallam County economic development officials are looking at several state, federal and local grant funding sources to help make the business incubator portion of the Port Angeles-based skills center a reality. The incubator is slated to begin operation in January, sharing space in the North Olympic Peninsula Skills Center. ``This has been the No. 1 economic development project in the county for three years,'' Jim Haguewood, Clallam County Economic Development Council executive director, said of the skills center/business incubator project. Now under construction at Eighth and B streets in Port Angeles, the skills center will provide employee training for existing businesses. The business incubator is designed to nurture and encourage emerging small businesses. |
