On Dec. 22, the Baker-Polito Administration announced $1,205,000 it will be awarding grants to 26 organizations in 18 communities throughout the commonwealth in an effort to strengthen “community-based innovation and entrepreneurship,” which included the Cambridge Innovation Center and Lab Central Inc. in Cambridge.
The fifth round of the Collaborative Workspace Program, administered by MassDevelopment, aims to accelerate business formation, job creation and entrepreneurial activity in communities by supporting infrastructure that “fuels locally-based innovation.”
“Our administration is proud to provide funding to help collaborative workspaces comply with the mandatory workplace safety standards essential to our COVID-19 reopening plan,” said Gov. Charlie Baker. “Now in its fifth round, the Collaborative Workspace Program continues to provide key support to our community of entrepreneurs, innovators, artists and students who drive economic activity and job creation across Massachusetts.”
