CityViewNC.com | 27 hopes to facilitate those businesses, from bakers to hopeful restaurateurs to caterers to food truckers, for whom the lot will provide the needed space to park and dump their water at night. "It will give so many talented people in- terested in the food industry the train- ing and the experience that can open all sorts of doors for them. We want to create and sustain jobs." Some of those up and coming pro- fessional cooks will be graduates of Fayetteville Technical Community College (FTCC), whose Culinary Arts program produces hordes of talented chefs who need just such a kick-start to set off their careers. e school is collaborating with CEED on the entire project and will take advantage of the kitchen space for some of their classes. In another partnership with a local school, Fayetteville State University's Business school helped to design the incubator's business plan as a part of a competition between all UNC Busi- ness programs. CEED's timeline sets construc- tion to begin July 2014, and plans for the incubator to open its doors in the spring of 2015. ough they're still in the fundraising stage, the space itself is accounted and paid for. Fayetteville residents Mary Ann and W.A. Bissett and Lynn and Michael Green donated the building, thereby tremendously cutting down on the venture's overall costs. Moving forward over the next few months, CEED will continue seeking the remaining $2.5 million needed, hoping for about $600,000 in private donations and the rest in government grants. "is will be built on our dream that when there is a need for something, we will find a way for it to happen," said Ray, likening the Women's Business Ad- ministration's approach to the "teach a man to fish" philosophy, meaning they help others help themselves. "We're in a different era of looking at food, and we hope to encourage people to eat, cook and farm locally and healthily. All this is is a community-driven way to bring people together, create jobs and to cook on a budget."
