McMillan Meets With Minister to Discuss Enterprise Areas
Stuart McMillan MSP (SNP) and Member of Scottish Parliament Economy, Energy & Tourism Committee has today (Tuesday) met with the Minister for Enterprise, Fergus Ewing MSP, to discuss the Scottish Government’s plans to create four enterprise areas throughout Scotland.
Mr McMillan has recently raised the issue with the Minister in the Scottish Parliament chamber and through Parliamentary Questions. This has now been followed up by a meeting to put forward the case for Inverclyde to be included in the Scottish Government’s plans for enterprise areas.
Mr McMillan said;
“I was pleased to have the opportunity today to sit down with the Minister for Enterprise and Scottish Government officials to highlight the case why Inverclyde should be seriously considered as a future enterprise area.
“As I stated before, I believe Inverclyde is well placed, in terms of knowledge and workforce, to help drive the renewables industry forward. Therefore, the benefits of an enterprise area to Inverclyde would be vast, in-terms of employment opportunities and growing the local economy.
“The Minister is firmly aware of the issues surrounding Inverclyde, such a population decline and unemployment, and I hope he will take on-board my proposal as to why Inverclyde should be considered as an enterprise areas.”
