""[I appreciate] for the support provided to our project to determine the potential market for a business incubator/accelerator in the region. Doing a “survey” is completely outside of my field of expertise and the Economic and Business Engagement Center filled that gap completely. They took my amateurish first draft, put it into a workable format and then worked through a series of revisions until we have a tool I think will be usable and will provide useful data. I appreciate the support, expertise and willingness to work with an “interested amateur” on this project. I look forward to working with you as we analyze and present the results of the service." "
