Industrial units that could help businesses create 100 new jobs are being created on a business park in County Durham with the help of Government support.
The eight new industrial workspace units are being created on the Hownsgill Industrial Park in Consett following investment from Government’s Getting Building Fund. The park is built on the site of the former Consett Steelworks, and it is hoped that its expansion will allow existing SMEs in the area to grow and create new jobs.
A grant of £448,000 has been awarded to Project Genesis Ltd to enable essential infrastructure and remediable works to be carried out before construction of the eight new industrial workspaces could begin.
