New jobs would be created by the expansion of a Nottinghamshire industrial park aiming to boost a village's economy. Gedling Borough Council has announced plans to construct four new industrial units at Hill Crest Park in Calverton, aiming to increase the growth of local businesses.
The development is projected to create 18 new job opportunities. Councillor Jenny Hollingsworth, portfolio holder for sustainable growth and economy at Gedling Borough Council, said the popularity of the existing units displayed the need for expansion.“This is a really exciting investment to a growing economy in the Calverton area.
The council has asked if the D2N2 Economic Growth Fund Capital Programme could contribute 50 percent for the project, with the planning application now pending. Construction is expected to commence quickly if planning permission and funding is approved.
