PORTLAND, Maine — The city of Ellsworth has landed a state grant to support development of bioscience businesses in the region, as part of a series of grant awards that will also give money to support seafood industry initiatives.
The Maine Technology Institute announced Thursday that it awarded $658,765 through its Cluster Initiative Program, aimed at studying or implementing ways to support or grow certain industries in the state.
The latest grant round will deliver $126,270 to Ellsworth’s new business incubator, the Union River Center for Innovation, which MTI said will be used “to develop an incubator to assist bioscience cluster entrepreneurs in the greater Ellsworth region.”
