DR Macleod, who will be the developer lead in the Newton Gateway project said: "Newton Gateway is a new development proposal intended as a key driver in the regeneration of the Newton area. This development would bring a disused site into purposeful use, providing new, modern commercial facilities for both new and existing businesses in the Western Isles. We believe the proposed development would bring a vitally needed boost to the local economy and the surrounding area, encouraging new ventures and growth of existing businesses whilst providing a significant boost to employment."
The Comhairle's Chairman of Sustainable Communities, Donald Crichton said: "We are very encouraged to hear of the new plans for Phase 2 of Stornoway Regeneration. Following on from existing works being carried out at Goat Island and the transformation of former mill buildings in Newton, these targeted interventions will create more jobs, infrastructure and visually improve the area."
