Chandler officials don’t want to place all of their economic development eggs in one basket — instead, they want to hatch some in a $15 million bioscience technology “incubator.”
The City Council recently approved an $81,000 contract to begin planning a community technology incubator and accelerator that economic development officials say would help diversify Chandler’s already strong foothold in the high-tech arena. The facility would help fledgling bioscience companies, especially those in the nanotechnology field, get off the ground.
“Chandler is already a signature technology community,” said Christine MacKay, an economic development specialist for the city. She specifically noted Intel and Motorola, which both have large facilities there.
