New digital and tech office space to open in Harrogate
A new £500,000 office space dedicated to digital and technology firms in Harrogate is set to open next month.
Springfield House, which is directly above Harrogate Convention Centre on King's Road, has been refurbished since Harrogate Borough Council staff left the premises in 2017.
The authority secured £540,000 of funding from the Leeds City Business Rates Pool to fund the project.
Known as Co-Lab, the offices feature 10 serviced offices with desk space for up to 10 people, high-speed broadband, a lounge and kitchen, meeting rooms and showers.
Tenants will also have access to information about issues such as funding and investment, supply chains and talent recruitment.

Businesses wishing to join Co-Lab will ideally need to be in the digital and creative industries business sector.
This includes fintech, augmented reality and virtual reality, digital health, film and animation production, music, digital content creation and management, immersive technology and content, publishing, cyber security, data, gaming, or product design.
