Commercial Kitchens and Food Incubators - An MEDC Follow Up Event 

Join MEDC in its first in-person event after COVID.  MEDC is excited to follow up on a virtual event held in June 2021 focused on commercial shared kitchens and food-centered incubators, and how they can drive economic development in communities across the Commonwealth.  Catch up with previous attendees and see what's happened since 2021.

We will hear from representatives of a few different incubators and what they are doing to succeed as we emerge from the pandemic.  We will also have a discussion on financial resources available for the industry.

Speakers confirmed to date:

Rob Anderson, VP Business Development - MassDevelopment

Jen Faigel, Executive Director - Commonwealth Kitchen

Chuck Merrill, Senior Loan Officer - MGCC

Shon Rainford, Director - Worcester Regional Food Hub

Scott Soares, State Director - USDA

...stay tuned for more!

After the event, we welcome attendees to continue networking at the Worcester Regional Food Hub's Pop Up Marketplace, located 2 minutes down the street at 446 Main Street. 

The Marketplace is a great place for lunch with rotating vendors every day!
