In 2011 Manchester Airport City was declared an Enterprise Zone by the UK Government which will see businesses locating here being offered business rate discounts of up to £275,000, enhanced capital allowance on plant and machinery, super fast broadband and simplified local authority planning.
RoC Consulting was appointed by Airport City Partnerships to support the development frame work with provision of civil, structural, geotechnical and environmental engineering on both Airport City North and South.
Airport City’s 5 million square foot of development will include offices, hotels, logistics, warehousing and advanced manufacturing.
