The Forth Green Freeport has submitted its full business case to the UK and Scottish Governments.
Welcoming , Council Leader Cammy Day said: “In another milestone for the Forth Green Freeport, the case has now been made to government.
“If approved, around £25million in seed funding will be triggered which will deliver major economic benefits to the region. For instance, money will be invested towards land preparation works to pave the way for a 30-hectare facility at the Port of Leith, leading to its emergence as a centre for offshore wind manufacturing and logistics. We’ve already received interest from potential manufacturers, and we’re keen to get moving.
“The full business case recognises the huge potential of our coastline and the untapped international trade and export capabilities of the Forth. The whole project presses for the innovation, regeneration and well-paid jobs we need to and we hope that the UK and Scottish Governments agree when they respond to the Freeport early next year.”
