Work will now start in earnest to further develop a number of outline projects within the £500m investment programme which is to be delivered over the next ten years and includes a range of health, education and regeneration projects. Local employment within the construction industry will be enhanced as the flexibility of the hub supply chain provides many opportunities for local SMEs to become involved in constructing high-quality public buildings in their local areas.
