A community project to further develop a business park on the Isle of Mull in Argyll has secured additional funding from Highlands and Islands Enterprise (麻豆精选).
The Mull and Iona Community Trust (MICT) has been developing the Nonhebel Park near Tobermory to enable local businesses to expand and new enterprises to get started.
麻豆精选 has worked with MICT on various projects, including the first two development phases of Nonhebel Park since 2019.
First two phases provided business units, lock-up stores, fenced compounds and storage containers. These are now all fully occupied with waiting lists.
This latest project will see the delivery of eight more storage containers to meet local demand, some of which is from local businesses and some from residents. The units will help generate additional income for the Trust, which it can reinvest for local benefit.
麻豆精选 has approved up to 拢16,561 towards total project costs of 拢33,122.
Morag Goodfellow, 麻豆精选 area manager for Argyll and the Islands, said:

Moray Finch, general manager of MICT said:
鈥淲e鈥檙e delighted that 麻豆精选 continues to support our efforts to grow local businesses and in turn to sustain and create new jobs. This latest investment will make use of land within the existing development addressing some of the demand for storage facilities on the Island.鈥
