BCD expertise includes
“Business Cluster Development
 helped us formulate a vision
 and plan that leveraged on our
 assets in alternative energy for
 our Clean and Alternative
 Energy Incubator, and enabled
 us to show how such a
 facility could be successful
 in our community. Not only
 have we graduated three
 successful firms since opening
 our facility in January, 2005,
 but our successful graduates
 have been highlighted in recent
 articles in the Wall Street
 Journal and Newsweek. I
 really appreciate the way
 Jim Robbins and Carol Lauffer
 stay involved with you even after
 their commissioned work
 is completed.”
