Minister defends £10 million scheme which will see developers bid for cash
Handing out money to developers looking to regenerate derelict brownfield sites on the Isle of Man could help provide accommodation for key workers.
That’s the view of the enterprise minister whose department has received Tynwald backing to ringfence £10 million to spark development.
Earlier this year the Isle of Man Government set a target of increasing the population to 100,000 in the next 15 years.
Lawrie Hooper has defended the Island Infrastructure Scheme from critics saying it could help solve huge problems on the Island:
Manx Utilities says ‘strong hedging’ strategy limits exposure to gas price surge
Noble's Emergency Department is 'safe' but 'too small by modern standards'
Police investigating RTC in Laxey last month
Manx Radio reports financial loss amidst ‘continued market uncertainty’
