The study shows that 2014 direct jobs would be created, addressing local jobs and labour market needs, as well as 2570 construction and temporary jobs to support the creation of the development. With the removal of the Calderbank development, the parkland area has been increased and is now set to span more than 60 per cent of the overall site.
“This input has been invaluable and has helped shape, focus and refine our plans to create something, that we believe, is very special for the area and for Scotland.
