The controversial Accelerator program of Orange County Industrial Development Agency (OCIDA) has been slashed down to two tenants as of a June 6 committee meeting.

Designed as an incubator providing subsidized rental spaces to small businesses, the Accelerator program was central to a high-profile corruption scandal involving three convicted OCIDA officials in 2021.
