On a national scale the cost of running a business is rising. In and around city centres premises rental, transport issues and the higher costs of employment and general living costs put a great deal of pressure on businesses. Over the past decade relocation of businesses out of city centres and into more affordable areas has increased. We believe RAF Coltishall is ideally placed to capitalise on this phenomena - its attractive green setting and high quality living environment providing an ideal location for a new business and technology park able to attract first rate companies.

Other employment opportunities will also be created for both skilled and unskilled workers to take full advantage of the resident’s potential., including the types of employment which were lost when RAF Coltishall closed. The amount of construction work is obvious, but there will also be teachers, park rangers, shop workers, caterers, cleaners, doctors, groundsmen, ecologists, care staff and maintenance workers to name but a few. We also envisage a range of training opportunities, not least in local building crafts and wetland management.
