New funding could help the UC Merced Venture Lab expand not only in Merced but also into Atwater and Modesto, the university announced Tuesday.

Each of the 10 University of California campuses will receive $2.2 million in one-time funding from Assembly Bill 2664, known as “University of California: innovation and entrepreneurship expansion,” authored by Assemblywoman Jacqui Irwin, D-Thousand Oaks, and signed by Gov. Jerry Brown in the fall, according to the university.
