A new development will help bring thousands of jobs to the area, Birmingham City Council’s leader has claimed.
Plans have been unveiled for the new Peddimore industrial development near the A38 in Minworth.
When completed, the site will feature up to 3million sq ft of space and could create up to 10,000 jobs.
Cllr John Clancy, Birmingham City Council’s leader, said: “We want to create a market-leading development opportunity for the city region that will help create thousands of jobs, boost the local economy and act as catalyst for further growth in the region.
“To make this happen, we’re unlocking excellently located prime land at Peddimore for manufacturing and logistics uses.”
The council is currently seeking expressions of interest from investors and developers.
Waheed Nazir, Birmingham City Council’s director for economy, added: “This is simply the best strategic development opportunity of its kind to come forward in many years.
“We’re therefore pleased to have begun the process of seeking a development partner at the top of its game to deliver our ambition of creating a major new industrial development at the centre of the UK.”
