Business incubator may come to Carroll

Few major businesses gravitate to Carroll, but if the county lands its first business incubator, it wouldn?t have to lure them from outside: It could develop its own.

The first step in building a business incubator, which would include rent-reduced office space for fledgling companies, will be a study that determines whether market demand warrants the help. The county recently received a state grant from the Technology Development Corp. for $25,000, which it will match to contract an independent company to do the study.
