Completion of major works to install infrastructure for the expansion of Skegness Business Park is bringing hopes of more jobs for the town closer.

Work started in August as part of the £2.4m extension of the site, and the new highway will join up two parts of the existing industrial estate. The completed site will provide approximately 12 acres of newly serviced land.

Coun Colin Davie, executive councillor for economy at the county council, said: "I'm delighted that two plots of land totalling two acres are already under offer with a local developer.

"They will build a minimum of 6000 square feet of industrial units as part of the sale contract - expected to be completed for tenants in 2022.

"The investment in expanding this site will really boost the coastal economy for years to come."

The remainder of the site will be made available in due course for further development, for businesses to grow or re-locate into their own purpose-built units, encouraging more year-round employment

Matt Warman, MP for Boston and Skegness said: "The expansion of Skegness Business Park is another prime example of the Government working with local partners to deliver on levelling up towns such as Skegness to foster their future prospects. This redevelopment is a vital infrastructure project.
