This project will create conditions for employment growth by demolishing and redeveloping an underused industrial site in need of complete regeneration to provide accommodation for:
• Small, Medium Enterprises (SMEs),
• Grow on space for established companies
• Improved accommodation for businesses currently located in inadequate premises.
It will service, construct and provide new industrial units for commercial rent.
The accommodation is expected to:
• Provide 3,400 sq metres of new business premises
• Generate 32 permanent new jobs
• Safeguard 44 jobs by providing replacement accommodation
The new businesses are expected to generate £480,000 of sales in the first full year following project completion and the safeguarded businesses to generate a further £660,000.

Progress April to June 2007
• All steelwork has now been erected and the roof cladding is practically completed for the new units. The sub-structure brick/block work, internal drainage and service ducts are complete. The concrete floor slabs are in place and the superstructure brickwork is in progress and on schedule.
July - September 2007
The off-site drainage, that will connect Phases 1 & 2 of the construction to the mains, is now virtually complete and is ready for new (Phase 1) drain to be connected to it.
As a result of the initial problems encountered, including the boundary fence and inclement weather conditions experienced this summer, the Contractor has advised that anticipated completion will now be on the 14th November 2007.
An editorial was also published in the Business Pages section of the Shropshire Star on the 6th August 2007.
An advertisement was featured in the Shropshire Star on the 17th September 2007.
Promotional literature publicising the new development has been created and distributed to various sectors. Additionally, property particulars have been forwarded to all commercial agents, Shropshire Chamber of Commerce, Transforming Telford and current T&WC tenants.
