AIRE VALLEY LEEDS - ENTERPRISE ZONE

The Government announced in July the first four areas to benefit from at least £100m of investment in Enterprise Zone tax breaks. A site within Aire Valley Leeds has been approved as one of the successful areas. Under the proposals local authorities will be able to retain and reinvest new business rates, whilst developers occupiers and businesses will be offered various incentives for location and investment in the zones. It is projected that the Aire Valley Enterprise Zone may bring a £550 economic boost and over 9,500 new jobs by 2025.
