THE TRANSFORMATION of the former Coventry Airport site is underway after work began on GreenPower Park. Public-private joint venture partners Coventry City Council and Rigby Group are creating a new ecosystem for advanced manufacturing, battery technology and clean energy at the 308-acre site. Enabling works, designed to connect the site to a dedicated power supply from National Grid, are now underway. Mike Murray, project director at GreenPower Park, said: “Following the closure of the airport in June we are now moving at pace to get the site ready for occupation. GreenPower Park has planning permission for industrial units ranging from 69k sq ft – 5.7m sq ft, with some of the largest consented footprints currently available in the UK.
