East Ayrshire Council has confirmed that plans to transfer the iconic White Tiled Building to Celebrate Kilmarnock have been scrapped.
The cost and longer term viability of the community group’s plan for a ‘Creative Cyber Campus’ in the heart of the town has been put down to the impact of covid, Brexit, war and high inflation.
Significant investment has been made by the council, who bought the property in 2019 for £250,000. A further £1.5m was allocated to it early in 2020, as a ‘lever’ for investment from other sources.
