CREST HAVEN – In anticipation that technology and drone-related businesses will hatch at the Cape May County Airport, freeholders approved the creation of an incubator to nurture those entities June 13. 
The document cites the county’s “track record of hosting forums and working with innovators and entrepreneurs involved in evolving technologies.”
It is the hope of the board and Freeholder Will Morey who heads Economic Development and who introduced the resolution, that firms which have tested unmanned aerial system (drones) at the airport and in Woodbine, will grow jobs locally.
Jobs for residents focused on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics are the sorts of “clean” prosperity the board wants to foster.
By creating an incubator, the county hopes to unburden fledgling businesses by providing a place for those endeavors to grow while using the county’s office center.
To accomplish its goal, the county will lease space from the Delaware River and Bay Authority which has business units for lease at the airport. Additionally, it will design and furnish space for those businesses.
The county also seeks to recruit and enlist “as members of the incubator” those firms that “show potential for establishing business operations in the county as well as a result of receiving assistance from the incubator facility.”
