Business leaders from in and around Grimsby have been given a rundown of plans to regenerate the town at the first of a series of events.
The Greater Grimsby gathering, organised by solicitors Wilkin Chapman, saw firms from around the region convene to hear about projects planned for Grimsby. Richard Askam, project director of Projekt Renewable, was on hand to outline the scheme to celebrate the opportunities of sustainable energy production in the area and catalyse the green economic regeneration of the town.
Projekt Renewable is described as Grimsby's first catalyst regeneration scheme that will create an educational and cultural destination between Freshney Place and Alexandra Dock. It aims to bring emerging careers to life by offering immersive experiences and hands-on demonstrations of the jobs available in the Humber 'energy estuary'.
