Eden – it’s more than regeneration

The £85m Eden Project plan for Morecambe will deliver more than regeneration – it will put north Lancashire on a global stage and help to raise aspirations locally.

That was the upbeat message from a panel discussion examining the opportunities and challenges facing North Lancashire.

Eden was just one of a number of “transformational” projects in the area highlighted at the launch event of the latest edition of Lancashire Business View. They included major development work at Lancaster Castle.

The event at Lancaster and Morecambe College, which was sponsored by Baines Wilson, also heard about the continued positive impact of the £140m Bay Gateway link road, which was described as a “catalyst” for new opportunities in the area, including Eden.
