TWO freeports will be set up in Scotland after an agreement between the Scottish and UK Governments was reached – but the Greens have previously said they will have “nothing to do with” the scheme.
Inverness and Cromarty Firth Green Freeport and Forth Green Freeport have been selected as the first projects in Scotland.
Speaking after the announcement, deputy first minister John Swinney said: “Scotland has a rich history of innovation, trade and manufacturing and as we look to seize the many opportunities achieving net zero offers, the creation of these internationally competitive clusters of excellence will help us to create new green jobs, deliver a just transition and support our economic transformation.”
