Moray MP Douglas Ross has welcomed the signing of the Moray Growth Deal.
Commenting Douglas said: “I have been heavily involved with the growth deal throughout my time as the local MP, and I’m delighted that it has finally been signed. It is down to the hard work of the various different groups involved that we were able to get this agreement secured before the end of the year and I look forward to seeing the projects really progress now.
“This is fantastic news for Moray. The growth deal represents a huge investment in our area and in its people, and it is great to see both the Scottish and UK Governments working together to make the deal possible.
“We have already seen from the range of projects made possible by this investment how the Moray Growth Deal will bring a positive economic boost to our area with jobs and the potential for further investment.
“This vital investment will make a great difference as we come back from the effects of the pandemic and I’m grateful to everyone who has made this latest stage, and significant, stage in the Moray Growth Deal possible.”
