Work has begun to build a new industrial site in Staveley that will help attract new businesses and create more jobs as part of a regional growth strategy.
Hartington Commerce Park is a 20-hectare site with outline planning permission for industrial and warehouse development. Work has started with a new access road which will connect the site with Hall Lane. The project is led and owned by Tawnywood Ltd.
While primarily funded by the private sector, funding from the Staveley Town Deal is being used for enabling works on the site, including the creation of the new access point and connecting the site with utilities.
Once complete Hartington Commerce Park will form part of the Staveley, Chesterfield East Midlands Investment Zone which will support the growth of the advanced manufacturing and clean technology sectors.
