Bill in state Senate would authorize 'virtual incubator' for agribusiness entrepreneurs

State Senator Catherine Young (R — Jamestown, S.D. 57) has introduced S08063, which would authorize NYSTAR to issue a competitive RFP to select an operator for a "virtual incubator" serving entrepreneurs in agribusiness and food processing, emphasizing value-added uses of the state's crops and forest products.

The virtual incubator would target entrepreneurs who operate in rural areas too remote to be well served by existing physical incubators.
