Golden LEAF Foundation $1.1 Million Grant Enables New Wilson Innovation Hub 

Excerpt: 

"The City of Wilson will soon construct the Wilson Innovation Hub, a unique co-working space to encourage start-ups and foster entrepreneurship in Wilson. The Hub will offer programming and support to encourage Wilson’s innovation economy.

The Innovation Hub construction will be funded in part by a $1.1 million grant from the Golden LEAF Foundation from its Community-Based Grantsmaking Initiative. The City of Wilson will contribute up to $1.6 million toward the project, which will be partially offset by revenue generated by the facility. Once complete, the Innovation Hub will offer a modern co-working space for entrepreneurs, equipped with gigabit service from Greenlight Community Broadband, Wilson’s municipal broadband system. The Hub will offer individual work spaces and small office suites for growing companies. Support services such as legal, financial and marketing expertise will be offered, as well as diverse programming to build connections." 

 

The Maurer team is excited to play a part in this exciting addition to the Wilson area! Stay tuned for more.
