The move is part of a strategic plan to eventually relocate to the Riverside Research Park, said Mike Dailey, FITCI executive director.
"We do expect to lease a larger facility that will provide not only incubator space, but also mezzanine space," he said.

"Hood College's support of the FITCI program from its very inception has been terrific," Dailey said.
"With Hood's support, FITCI has accomplished an outstanding return on investment in terms of business, job creation, and funding in a short timeframe."
Although FITCI won't be on campus, the organization will continue it's partnership with Hood, particularly to maintain Hood student intern placement with FITCI client companies.
Hood will still have representation on the FITCI Board of Directors, and collaboration among Hood College professors and FITCI client companies will continue, Dailey said.
