£200m plan to revitalise Swansea's waterfront


Hundreds of construction jobs will be created by a £200m scheme to revamp Swansea's waterfront.

Around 200 jobs will result from the first phase of the Welsh Development Agency's (WDA) Port Tawe Innovation Village project. Towards the end of the year, the WDA will invite developers to express interest in parcels of land and to take the scheme forward in phases.

The full-blown project, covering more than 40ha, will feature around 200,000m2 of business space, 1,500 homes, leisure facilities and the refurbishment of listed buildings.

Construction work kicks off in August with the initial stage - the construction of two landmark bridges, plus infrastructure works.
