"The Quincy Business & Technology Center has had a significant impact not only on the Quincy area, but communities throughout Illinois. The business incubator has assisted in the creation of start-up businesses that have become successful enterprises, some with world-wide significance. If you look for a definition of “economic engine,” it’s the Quincy Business & Technology Center.
USDA Rural Development is proud to be part of QBTC’s valuable contributions to our overall economic development throughout Rural Illinois. Since the beginning of its operation, there have been approximately 75 different businesses established and approximately 450 jobs created. The facility (incubator) fully meets the objective of the Rural Business Enterprise Grant Program which is to finance and facilitate development of small or emerging private business enterprises in rural areas. Thank you, Les, for your dedication to the future of the Quincy area and Rural Illinois."

"CareLink (www.carelinknurse.com) is involved in providing nurse care coordination, skilled nursing care and in home supportive services for people with chronic health conditions and people who are frail and elderly. My partners Carlene Blickhan, Cindy Paul and I saw a real need in the community to help people maintain their best possible state of health and live where they want to live. We were new to owning our own business and needed help to get things started. The Quincy Business & Technology Center was the best possible place to start. We were surrounded by other entrepreneurs, had professional office space and enjoyed the use of shared services like conference facilities. The QBTC staff was wonderfully supportive. CareLink has grown rapidly over the years, graduated from the QBTC and is now located at 900 Broadway. We suggest other entrepreneurs look at the QBTC and consider getting their business started there."
