WaterCooler Business Incubator project opens in Downtown Boise. With 8 small businesses already in the building, the developer may expand the project to other sites.

Mayor Dave Bieter lit a huge light bulb Wednesday to mark the opening of developer Mark Rivers’ Boise WaterCooler project – an incubation center for entrepreneurs and small business in Downtown Boise.

Rivers converted the former Boise Heating & Cooling building on the corner of 14th and Idaho streets into the WaterCooler.

"It is a huge milestone for Boise," Rivers said. "It sends a message to the rest of the world that Boise is open for business when it comes to innovation and creativity."
