Exciting times ahead for Merthyr Tydfil! A whopping £9m investment is coming to Goat Mill Road to create a vibrant 19-acre employment site. This partnership between the Welsh Government and Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council will transform the area into a bustling hub of opportunity.
The site, untouched since the ’90s, will finally see the light of day thanks to a boost from the Northern Valleys Initiative. With over £4.5m from the Welsh Government and £5.1m from Cardiff Capital Region, expect a wave of economic growth and job creation.
Rebecca Evans, Welsh Government’s economy guru, highlights the importance of well-connected business spaces for expansion and job opportunities. This development will turbocharge the local economy, drawing on recent upgrades to the A465 and complementing other Tech Valleys projects.
Cardiff Capital Region’s Mike Brough is thrilled to co-fund this project, focusing on sustainable growth and delivering long-term benefits for Merthyr. Meanwhile, Council leader Brent Carter proudly notes Merthyr’s growing allure for investors, thanks to its prime Valleys location and excellent transport links across South Wales.
With jobs coming during construction and later phases, this project promises a bright future for Merthyr Tydfil. Stay tuned for more updates on this transformative journey! 🚀🌟
