£280,000 upgrade of Ripon business park begins
The sum will be spent on creating more space, refurbishing the existing units and installing new electric vehicle charging points. Harrogate-based Dalebuild Limited won the tender to carry out the work.
A £280,000 upgrade of Harrogate Borough Council-owned Phoenix Business Park in Ripon has begun.
The funding will help to create more space, refurbish the three units and install new electric vehicle charging points.
The council awarded Dalebuild Limited, a Harrogate-based construction firm, the contract for the work after a tender process.
This project follows a similar £500,000 investment at the council-owned Conyngham Hall business centre in Knaresborough, which was completed in October last year.

The council believes, even with the shift to more home working, there continue to be demand for office spaces in the Harrogate district.
Councillor Graham Swift, the council's deputy leader and cabinet member for resources, enterprise and economic development, said:
"We want to ensure Harrogate district businesses have the space around them to grow and expand as their business does.
"This investment at Phoenix Business Park will do just that, by creating flexible spaces with leases designed around their needs. As well as providing them with modern, energy efficient accommodation with high-speed digital connectivity."
