Preparatory works are underway for the £20 million Automated Distribution and Manufacturing Centre (ADMC) in Ashfield.
It is hoped the ADMC will be a national centre of excellence for automation and the jewel of a £100 million Innovation and Technology Park, bringing employment opportunities to the area.
The 2,800 sq m centre will support businesses of all sizes to design and implement bespoke automation strategies, boosting productivity, competitiveness, and long term economic growth.
Before work can begin on the building, major alterations to a road junction need to be completed alongside other associated works. The roadworks are set to start in the coming weeks.
Ashfield District Council leader, Cllr Jason Zadrozny, said: “This ADMC will become a magnet for businesses who recognise the need to embrace new technology to drive growth and improve. It will provide a legacy for generations to come and one that will attract more high skilled jobs to Ashfield.
“Regeneration is hugely important for Ashfield and our ambition to grow the District’s economy. We’re excited about work beginning and I look forward to seeing the centre take shape in the coming months.”
