Much needed business units will be built in Carmarthenshire to
Net Zero standards, in a joint project between Carmarthenshire
County Council and Welsh Government.
Five energy efficient industrial units will be delivered at
Beechwood Industrial Estate, in Llandeilo, for businesses based
locally and regionally, supporting economic development in the
area.
More than £3 million is being invested by Welsh Government in the
7,150 sq ft site. It includes infrastructure, landscaping, and
other associated works.
It follows earlier engagement with the community which identified
the need for more employment space.
The development – which is designed to achieve 'Net Zero carbon
in-operation target' – forms part of the Welsh Government's
Property Delivery Plan and delivers on Carmarthenshire council's
Ten Towns Initiative.
Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning, , said:
“Growing the economy is a priority for this Welsh Government.
Businesses across Wales have made it clear that well connected,
high-quality business spaces with sustainability at their core
are crucial for expansion and job creation.
“These modern new business units will help deliver sustainable
employment opportunities, whilst delivering lower bills for
businesses.”
Cllr Hazel Evans, Cabinet Member for Regeneration, Leisure,
Culture and Tourism at Carmarthenshire County Council said:
“Following engagement with the local community which identified a
need for employment space in Llandeilo, these new units will
support small and medium businesses by providing future-proofed
employment space featuring solar panels and EV chargers. I look
forward to seeing the project develop.”
Korbuild Limited, in Pontypridd, has been chosen to design and
build the units.
Mark Cotter, Managing Director of Korbuild, said:
“Korbuild Limited is committed to a high quality and timely
delivery of the Beechwood Industrial Estate Business Units. We
look forward to the ongoing development of strong working
relationships with all involved in this exciting new project.”
