Latest milestone for £200m Teesside Airport business park set to create 4,400 jobs

Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen has today broken ground on a £200m logistics and manufacturing park at Teesside International Airport.

The project, which has the potential to create thousands of jobs, will see infrastructure work begin imminently following the groundbreaking milestone.

The 270-acre site will become home to 3.4 million sq ft of logistics, manufacturing and commercial space.

Mayor Ben Houchen commented: “Hot on the heels announcing summer flights to Alicante for this summer, and the introduction of six new routes across UK and Ireland rolling out now, today I’ve broken ground on the next huge project to secure the future of Teesside Airport.

“Today is the next step in achieving a sustainable, appropriate development around our airport, providing a high quality site for businesses, a huge number of which have already expressed an interest at being based here.

“Not only that, it will help create thousands of good-quality jobs for local people and make sure our airport will be here for years to come, with money from the site reinvested into our airport.”
