The folks from the Central Valley Business Incubator paid a visit to The Bee's Editorial Board yesterday to update us on some big plans for their future. They're moving into much larger quarters soon, and also cranking up the Claude Laval Water and Energy Technology Incubator, a partnership between CVBI and Fresno State's International Center for Water Technology.
It's exciting stuff for those who are concerned about regional economic development, which should include all of us. Helping small businesses get started and giving guidance to those with entrepreneurial impulses may be the single most important factor in overall economic development for any region.

The Central Valley Incubator and its Junior MBA Program of 4 hours a night for 8 nights is one of our community's great assets for helping people to go into business for themselves. It costs $500 but is worth $100,000's in life time additional income for those who take this course.
