As a result of this partnership, there will be a BLUE1647 satellite facility that will serve as a Business Accelerator at the US Bank building located at 815 W. 63rd Street on the 4th Floor. The Ribbon Cutting Ceremony will take place today, April 2, 2015 at 11 am. The space includes private offices, workshops, courses, technical assistance and more.
This Business Accelerator will be added to the other satellite facilities announced earlier this year, including the national expansion to the St. Louis community, as well as a 2015 long term partnership with Rainbow PUSH Excel.
