EDGE Business Innovation Center

The EDGE Board of Directors have entered into a contract with the City of Belle Glade to continue the renovation of the Old Town Center on Avenue A.

After renovation the Center will be used by the EDGE Innovation and Historical Exhibit Center to provide an incubation facility for new cultural and technological startup businesses and as a nature center and museum.

The project will be funded with a State of Florida Cultural Grant, and numerous other Grants as well as local donations.

The project is benchmarked for 1st floor completion by December 2008.

The contractor Benny Richmond, Ins was chosen for this project. Richmond Inc. is a family based contractor who has served the Glades area for more than 50 years and remembers the historical Ave A district when it was all that there was in down town Belle Glade.
