The projects in the Sites and Premises investment cluster are helping address the shortage of quality modern workspaces across Cornwall for businesses wishing to grow and relocate.

Providing modern, suitable workspace facilities is essential to establishing an environment in which business can flourish long after 2006. Sites and premises projects have included both new build and the sympathetic conversion or redundant historic buildings for use by new businesses.

This workspace needs to be equipped for 21st Century business – including high speed internet access and environmental features that reduce running costs and access for people of all abilities.
