Project Description
This project will invest in redeveloping an opportunity site close to Runcorn Station as part of the redevelopment of the Runcorn Station Quarter Enterprise Hub within the Liverpool City Region. Towns Fund investment will be used to redevelop a site into an enterprise hub with flexible office space. It will create quality office accommodation which is currently not available in the area, and therefore support the strategic aims.
The aspiration to establish a new enterprise facility at the Runcorn Station Quarter Enterprise Hub became more specific with the recent announcement for Elite House: https://hbcnewsroom.co.uk/new-enterprise-facility-at-runcorn-station-quarter/.
