The leader of West Dunbartonshire Council has reaffirmed the commitment of the Glasgow City Region to look for additional investment after its Green Freeport status bid was unsuccessful.
Partners responsible for the bid were disappointed not to have been chosen by the government to host one of the two new Green Freeports in Scotland, which were instead awarded to Inverness and Cromarty and Firth of Forth.
A green freeport is a large, “zoned area” within a defined boundary which includes a rail, sea or airport. Operators and businesses in the zone can benefit from a package of tax and other incentives.
