Work has started to build 11 new business units at Blackpool Airport Enterprise Zone.
Prospect Development NW has started construction at Plot 109, between Lancaster House and Lockheed Court on Amy Johnson Way.
Once complete, the 1.8 acre site will include warehousing and office space, ranging from 190 sqm to 400 sqm. Construction of the land is set to complete in autumn next year.
Four of the units are already sold, with the remaining units becoming available for sale early next year.
In addition, the site will provide parking for 60 cars, including electric vehicle charge points, bicycle storage and motorcycle parking.
The development is the latest in a line of private and public sector developments on the business park since it was granted Enterprise Zone status in 2016.
Councillor Mark Smith, said: “Blackpool Airport Enterprise Zone is becoming one of the North West’s premier business destinations, supporting thousands of jobs for people on the Fylde Coast.
“Our commitment to invest in infrastructure such as the new road is creating an environment where the private sector is also investing in new business units, creating space for more companies to start and grow, and creating more jobs, boosting our local economy and making Blackpool better.”
The Enterprise Zone is a 25-year project between Blackpool Council and Fylde Council to attract quality jobs to the area for local people, with Blackpool Council so far committing up to £54 million in infrastructure costs, along with support from a £7.5 million grant from the UK Government towards building the new road.
