It is well known that small business is the engine that will run our country's economic recovery and growth. Based on this idea, we invite you to join us in celebrating entrepreneurship with the opening of a new and lasting venture in Estill County:  the ICE Box!  The Innovation Center for Entrepreneurs (ICE) Box is a business incubator in Irvine, Kentucky with space to house 5 new ventures and supply them with everything they need to get their businesses started on the right foot. Our ribbon cutting and grand opening will be held at 12 noon, Friday June 15, 2012.  The ICE Box is located at our office, 177 Broadway in downtown Irvine, in the former location of Estill County 911 dispatch/Emergency Operations Center. Refreshments will be served and we sincerely hope you will join us in celebrating this great event for Estill County.  We ask that you RSVP to the EKU Center for Economic Development, Entrepreneurship & Technology (CEDET) at (859) 622-2334 or Cassie.Williams@eku.edu so we may plan for the event.
