“Entrepreneurs want to run into each other at the coffee shop,” said John Barros, the city’s chief of economic development and the committee’s co-chair. “They need people nearby who can create apps, do marketing, and take on legal issues. They need talent, and they need people willing to fund their ideas. Strategically coordinating all those pieces will be huge.” The city this month will choose a day-to-day operator of the Bolling Building’s innovation center. A spokeswoman for Walsh said several experienced incubator operators, individuals, and nonprofits had applied. In line with the wishes of residents, applicants will be evaluated on the strength of their plans to work with the neighborhood.
