Saline County is in the process of creating an incubator space for retail and specialty food businesses in downtown Salina. Incubator spaces are known as best practice for helping start-ups create an idea or innovative market without the high risk of immediately taking on costly overhead and administrative expenses. With these goals in mind, the Salina Area Chamber of Commerce provided the Saline County Commission a proposal to use American Rescue Plan Act funding to support a project that would allow for an incubator space downtown.
