Priority 4 : Promote Economic Development
Fareham's desirable location, combined with its award winning business parks, makes it an attractive destination for businesses.
This Strategy period will see increased investment in our town centre guided by the preparation of a Fareham town centre Regeneration Vision and Masterplan. The development of Fareham Live, a new arts and entertainment venue, with new parking provided alongside, will help meet the changing habits of visitors and breathe new life into the town centre.
Daedalus is proudly owned by the Council and forms part of the Solent Enterprise Zone. The site features two business park opportunities, Faraday and Swordfish, as well as the highly successful Fareham Innovation Centre, CEMAST and CTEC facilities. Over the next Strategy period, Daedalus will see further investment, principally at Faraday, so we can deliver on our Daedalus Vision and unlock further employment opportunities.
Solent Airport at Daedalus will see a further multi-million pound investment to improve the commercial offer and facilities provided and help attract more aviation businesses to the site.
The delivery of an all moves junction 10 on the M27 will also enable Welborne to provide further extensive employment space and jobs over the coming years.
