The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors agreed Tuesday to match a $3 million private commitment to build a bioscience incubator in the South Bay on the campus of County Harbor-UCLA Medical Center.

Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas, who allocated the money out of a capital improvement fund set up for his district, said he expected construction to begin by the end of this year.

“It is about making Los Angeles the locus of what’s new, what’s next,” said Ridley-Thomas, who represents the inland South Bay.
