Lancashire Council to invest in developing Business Enterprise Village
Lancashire County Council has announced that work is now underway on the Rising Bridge employment site project. The plan is to develop the Haslingden location and create a Business and Enterprise Village that will provide new business accommodation and increase economic activity and employment prospects in the area.
The development is a priority partnership project for Lancashire County Council and Rossendale Borough Council’s shared economic regeneration agenda. The North West Development Agency has provided money towards the project which will create high quality business space for Small to Medium Sized Enterprises.
The employment site will create nine pavilion style offices providing over 32,000 square feet of business space to support job creation and stimulate economic growth in Rossendale.
Lancashire County Council Leader, Hazel Harding, who cut the first piece of land this week, said:
“This is an excellent regeneration opportunity for Rossendale and Lancashire. It will create jobs and income in the local area.
“It is important to retain businesses within Lancashire and the provision of sufficient and high quality office facilities to encourage our local entrepreneurs and also to attract businesses that may be looking to relocate into the area is vital.
“We are always looking to the future, especially so in such a difficult economic climate, and this demonstrates that we are firmly open for business in Lancashire.”
Hopefully it won’t be too long until the office units are full of office workers with all the office furniture installed and jobs created for the local people. By its completion in summer 2010, staff will hopefully be stood chatting by the water coolers and discussing how only a year ago this job was just a pipe dream!
