The remaining money to build the Koffman Incubator came from the Broome County Industrial Development Agency, the Federal Economic Development Agency, and the Binghamton University Research Foundation, the university said. Broome County and the City of Binghamton provided in-kind services to the project.
Syracuse–based Ashley McGraw Architects, D.P.C. completed the building design work. The general contractor was Fahs Construction Group, which is headquartered in the town of Binghamton.
