Airport could be site of Enterprise Zone
27.07.11
Edinburgh Airport is a candidate to become one of Scotland’s first Enterprise Zone after plans were unveiled to develop it into a hub for international business and transport, the head of city development at Edinburgh City Council said.
Having pledged to create four enterprise zones if it won the election in May, the Scottish National Party is reported to be consulting Edinburgh City Council and other stakeholders to make the airport a prime location for international businesses and investment.
Dave Anderson, director of city development at the council, told the Global Airport Cities website: ‘The current Enterprise Zone legislation is only applicable in England and Wales, so the Scottish Government is looking to put in place similar Enterprise Zones in Scotland. If this happens Edinburgh Airport would be an obvious case study, but at the moment the necessary legislation does not exist.’
