Government officials expect the creation of more than 100 jobs following the announcement of £8.2m in funding for the first regeneration project in Port Talbot, with other projects set to follow. The ‘South Wales Industrial Transition from Carbon Hub’ project will redevelop a four-acre site at Harbourside, Port Talbot that will include the construction of additional shared space, undertake flood mitigation and the provision of specialist equipment. This major investment will help establish an ‘Innovation District’ in Port Talbot that will ultimately benefit the South Wales economy by £87m.
