Melrose Made is an incubator service that provides sustainable business ideas for new entrepreneurs. It works with local business owners, young entrepreneurs, and public schools. Business owners act as mentors and provide workshops and space. Young entrepreneurs generate and test business ideas in empty retail spaces. Public schools engage students through afterschool programs and provide space for workshops. The goal is to spark new opportunities that benefit the community through collaboration between different groups.
