East Midlands Freeport secures go-ahead to deliver new incentives for business growth
The East Midlands Freeport has today (Tuesday) secured formal Government approval for its plans to offer businesses locating in the Freeport special incentives. The UK’s only inland freeport is set to deliver over 61,000 jobs for the East Midlands and an extra £8.9bn for the local economy over the next 30 years. The greenlight means that from 22nd March 2022, eligible companies investing in designated areas within the Freeport’s boundary will be able to access a range of benefits offered through the Government’s Freeport policy.
