Lake County to get new UCF Business Incubator-Eustis in August
Lake County is getting a business incubator once again, thanks to collaborative efforts between the University of Central Florida, the city of Eustis, Lake County government and Eustis-based commercial real estate broker Mega Properties LLC.
The new UCF Business Incubator-Eustis location will open in August, after the county lost its previous business incubator. The first Lake County incubator, which opened in Leesburg in 2008 and was managed by UCF from 2009-2012, was taken over by the county after that and ultimately shuttered.
Meanwhile, the new Eustis incubator will be housed at 343 N. Bay St., a 99-year-old Mega Properties building of about 10,000 square feet size, most of which is dedicated to the incubator.
