I made a point of walking through Janesville’s new incubator building at Forward Janesville’s Business After Five last week. Having cut my commercial real estate teeth in economic development for a few decades, I was really interested in seeing the outcome of the city’s efforts.
Like many in the private sector, I was a bit skeptical. Building a brand new building in order to encourage entrepreneurship seemed a bit incongruous and perhaps a contributor to that “paid for by the government” adage.
