Future Growth
The priority afforded to Hunterston PARC in national and local policy, places it at the forefront of Scotland’s strategy to be a major contributor to the local economy.
Hunterston PARC has the potential to transform its current economic prospects to drive regeneration and bring prosperity to the West Coast of Scotland.
At a regional level, the recently announced Ayrshire Growth Deal – funded by both Scottish and UK governments and investment support from Scottish Enterprise who are partnering in the PARC development. The North Ayrshire local development plan 2 – is expected to act as a major economic stimulus, which the site is ideally positioned to support.
Hunterston Parc is central to this ambitious growth agenda.
