North Staffs gets hi-tech business boost
A £6m investment into a development at Keele University Science Business Park (KUSBP) has been approved by the cabinet at Staffordshire County Council.
The money would be used to fund the IC5 development which would have 30,000 sq ft of office space.
Ben Adams, cabinet member for economic growth and prosperity, said: "This is another success story for Staffordshire and sets us out as a major player in terms of locating high end business, as well as our commitment to work with our universities who play a leading role in important areas of research and technology."
Jenny Tucker, Keele University Science and Business Park director, added: "We have worked very closely with Staffordshire County Council over the last two years to develop a partnership to support the county’s drive for economic growth, building on Keele’s successful track record, and reputation, in developing the Science and Business Park."
The investment comes on the back of the Regional Growth Fund approvals for two projects in the Stoke-on-Trent and the Staffordshire Local Enterprise Partnership area.
