New workspace to be built near St Austell

New workspace for small businesses is being built near St Austell with the support of ERDF (European Regional Development Fund) Convergence investment.

The project - Goonvean Yard Industrial Units - will create 11 high quality industrial units totalling 720sq m, situated between St Stephen and Nanpean, in the Clay Country.  It is estimated that the units will be completed by April 2010 and when occupied 25 full time jobs will be created.

Although the units are aimed at new start or small light industrial companies, flexibility is integral to their design so units can be combined or altered according to the business' needs. The units will also unlock the economic potential of an underused brownfield site.
