New Release: Buildings That Create Jobs |
|
Among the many endeavors into which entrepreneurs might invest their time and effort, few are as rewarding and impactful as a business incubator. Recycling vacant buildings to provide job creators a place to set up shop within a community can boost a local economy and benefit nearly every member of a struggling city, town, or village. The need for hometown, community-centric, job-focused, locally sustainable spaces continues to increase. For a distressed community, an incubator might be the right answer. |

RG&E and NextCorps Announce Milestone of $1M Awarded to Rochester Area Startups
NextCorps, a non-profit incubator and accelerator for technology startups and entrepreneurs in the Rochester and Finger Lakes Region of Upstate New York, announced today that Rochester Gas and Electric (RG&E), the region’s electric and natural gas utility, has reached a major milestone in its support to the Rochester community, awarding more than $1 million in grants to entrepreneurs who are building their businesses with assistance from NextCorps.
These grants fill a critical gap by providing initial funding to get a business off the ground – which is a difficult step for founders to attract funding from investors at the very early stage. Through the Economic Development Innovation & Entrepreneurship Program and several other economic development funding assistance programs designed to support growing businesses and attract new ones to the region, RG&E and its sister company NYSEG contributed more than $14.1M to the communities they serve in 2022 alone.
