The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the award of £197,200 from the Scottish Land Fund to Creative Regeneration to purchase the former sugar refinery building and adjacent land known as The Glebe in Greenock; notes that the funding will support the transformation of the Grade B listed building into a technical and creative community hub focused on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) skills and community learning; recognises that the project will provide flexible accommodation, office space and creative and technical workshops delivered in partnership with businesses, the third sector and community organisations; acknowledges the historical significance of the building as the last remnant of Greenock’s sugar refining industry and the project’s aim to preserve and interpret this heritage; commends the inclusion of a STEAM makerspace, a digital production space for Vanishing Point theatre company, a Retrofit Hub and a National Stained Glass School, and congratulates Creative Regeneration and all involved for their vision and commitment to delivering what it sees as a transformational project for Inverclyde.
