Green energy company Ecotricity has submitted fresh plans to build a new stadium for football club Forest Green Rovers and a green tech business park in Gloucestershire.
The Stroud-based business, which is owned by the League Two side’s chairman Dale Vince, has said its proposed Eco Park development, could bring £150m a year to the local economy and create around 5,000 jobs.
The company said the sustainable site, which when finished is expected to self-generate over 80% of all energy used, could create £2m per year in business rates for Stroud District Council.
