Industrial facilities on port land for sale
Two industrial facilities on port land, Le Havre's Grand Canal and Eco-Normandie Business Park, are open for investors, now that they have been awarded an official label by the government. "This government label not only throws a spotlight, but also provides a marvellous boost, because setting up a new industrial operation or a logistics platform can take a great deal of time," said Edouard Philippe, chairman of the Le Havre Seine Métropole urban and district authority.
The former cement production facility was transformed into a site ready for new business. Specifically, it is the Grand Canal site in Le Havre (formerly a Lafarge plant) in Saint-Vigor-d'Ymonville and the Eco-Normandie Business Park in Saint-Romain-de-Colbosc. A high degree of environmental protection is also guaranteed.
The Grand Canal land in Le Havre, which is under Haropa Port ownership, features an area of approximately 300,000 sqm in the industrial/port area with many utilities already in place (potable and industrial water, electricity, gas, steam).
The Eco-Normandie Business Park in Saint-Romain-de-Colbosc is located right next to the A29 motorway and the industrial areas of Le Havre and Port-Jérôme. It offers 220,000 sqm of space for setting up new businesses. (cd)
