I visited Kelburn in Port Glasgow today along with Regeneration Convener Jim Clocherty and Riverside Inverclyde (RI) Chief Executive Bill Nicol to view progress on the site prepartion works.
RI is spending in excess of £800,000 on the Kelburn Business Park to ensure development-ready industrial plots to attract private investment to the area.
Kelburn has the potential to be one of the few effective industrial sites available in Inverclyde to allow eligible companies to apply for Regional Selective Assistance funding and could support the creation of more than 300 new jobs. Given the site’s excellent transport links, sitting right alongside the A8, I am sure companies will be interested in locating here.
The works carried out at Kelburn include cutting and filling new earthworks and remodelling the ground profile. A new access road carrying ducts for statutory services along with a footpath and service diversions have been provided to open up the entire business park area and make it available for inward investment or possible relocations from other parts of Inverclyde.
