Construction work begins at Spaceport 1 in North Uist
The space ambitions of the Outer Hebrides have taken a step forward, with the launch of the initial phase of construction of the Spaceport 1 sub-orbital launch site.
Joanna Peteranna, Director of Area Operations with HIE said:
“We’re delighted with this announcement, which ends a period of uncertainty for the skilled workforce at Harland and Wolff Arnish and puts the company on a strong footing once again.
“Arnish is a tremendous asset for the Outer Hebrides with great potential to grow its role in Scotland’s expanding renewable energy sector even further.
“HIE has already held discussions with Navantia and we now look forward to building a productive relationship as the company develops its plans for Arnish.”
