Riverside Inverclyde Property Holdings (riPH), has been granted planning permission by Inverclyde Council for a new food and drink incubator in Greenock. The incubator and its other areas of support for businesses will be the first of its kind in Scotland, assisting Inverclyde's growth in the food and drink sector as Scotland aims to double its turnover to £30 billion by 2030.
Baker Street Food & Drink Enterprises will be built on land recently cleared at the corner of Baker Street and Drumfrochar Road and is part of a wider £3.5 million project including a road re-alignment being delivered by Riverside Inverclyde for Inverclyde Council.
Units will range in size from 330 sq ft to 730 sq ft and will offer manufacturers manufacturing facilities, shared office space, storage, board and research rooms.
The incubator will aim to facilitate growth for the businesses based at Baker Street, with the expectation for the companies to expand in a sustainable manner before moving onto larger premises in Inverclyde, allowing a constant flow of new firms to move in.
Inverclyde Council has the potential of match-funding support for machinery and equipment up to £5k. All of this is aimed at assisting with the transition into Baker Street alongside support towards achieving SALSA standard accreditation for the units.
The development started in February 2019 with a completion date of early December 2019.
The Baker Street incubator is being supported by £900,000 from the Scottish Government's Regeneration Capital Grant Fund (RCGF).
Pre-let interest is being invited - for more details, contact Andrew Bowman. Location
