Scrabster Harbour is one of four enterprise areas in the Highlands and Islands.MEASURES aimed at attracting new business opportunities to Scrabster harbour have been unveiled by the Scottish Government.
Finance minister John Swinney outlined a range of new business incentives that are available to encourage private investment in each of Scotland’s four new enterprise areas.
Actions to stimulate investment include business rate discounts worth up to £275,000 per business or enhanced capital allowances; new streamlined planning protocols across all sites; skills and training support and an international marketing campaign to promote the sites.
Mr Swinney said that as an enterprise area, the Scottish Government is doing all it can to support jobs and secure new investment at Scrabster.
“To help stimulate private investment, we have established a range of incentives and a commitment to deliver next generation broadband to these sites before 2015,” he said.
“The Scottish Government has worked closely with our enterprise agencies to select these sites, which are strategic locations for some of our key growth sectors.
“Our enterprise areas are now open for business and Scottish Enterprise and Highlands and Islands Enterprise will work closely with local authorities and the business community to maximise the economic potential of each site.”
