Paris, TX—The Red River Region Business Incubator (R3bi) has spent the past year getting its operations off the ground. From hiring director Fred Green, to designing a logo and website, to housing 4 start-up businesses, the R3bi has had a busy and productive year. And now Fred Green, R3bi Director, is proud to announce the latest accomplishment for the Incubator—its own facility. Until this month, the R3bi has been housed with the Paris Economic Development Corp. at the Santa Fe Depot on Bonham Street. However, renovations on the new home of the Incubator were recently completed and it is now formally located at 1445 Clarksville Street in Williamsburg Shopping Center. Construction progress can be seen below.
Construction of offices at the Red River Region Business Incubator. At capacity the Incubator can house up to 8 businesses.
To celebrate its new location, the R3bi will be hosting a Grand Opening Celebration all day on Friday, May 27th. Beginning with a ribbon cutting with the Lamar County Chamber of Commerce and culminating with a banquet, the Grand Opening Day will be packed with lots of activity of interest and value to all business owners and community members. Please make plans to take part in this Celebration event. Full details of the day’s schedule are below, and information about all speakers and entertainment can be found here.
Feel free to contact Fred Green for more information or to schedule a tour of the incubator.
