One of the key parts of the Ayrshire Growth Deal is to be given a major ‘reboot’ after its original plan was deemed ‘unviable'.
The Ayrshire Growth Deal, agreed in 2020, included the development of the Aerospace and Space Technology Application Centre (ASTAC) at Prestwick Airport.
A total of £11 million was allocated to the project, which would provide support for the delivery and manufacture of new flight products focused on the supply chain for the aerospace sector alongside both academic and industrial research and development.
