Washington State official touts incubators

The Thurston County Chamber of Commerce’s effort to launch a small business incubator won validation Wednesday when a top state official described incubators as critical to economic development.

Juli Wilkerson, director of the state Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development, addressed members of the chamber at a luncheon held at Saint Martin’s University’s Norman Worthington Conference Center.

Every dollar of public money invested in small business incubators generates $30 in return, Wilkerson said.
