CROSSVILLE – Roane State Community College’s Cumberland Business Incubator (CBI) will be hosting an open house event from 1-3 p.m. Wednesday, April 13. The community is invited to network, meet CBI entrepreneurs and business representatives, mentors and volunteers, tour the Maker Space and see samples of the projects completed there.

The CBI Maker Space provides the community with access to tools and technology including 3-D printers, electronics bench, laser engraver, woodworking shop, Computer Aided Design computers and software, vinyl cutter and heat press, fabric arts and embroidery machine and a general assembly area.
