A Castletown MHK is calling for government to support plans to grow industrial development on the Island.
Richard Ronan believes more could be made of the ports – especially the airport and around the Balthane and Ronaldsway areas.
It was an idea discussed in Tynwald earlier this week with the Chief Minister coming out in support of his plan.
Allan Bell says the framework is in place for wider development and that a fierce battle for inward investment is taking place worldwide.
However he says there have already been mistakes in this area:
Buchan School could become 85 homes under new plans
Flood defence plans scrapped after five planning objections
TT food van needed for trackside car park
Northern roadworks to hinge on Mountain Road reopening
Beer festival to return this week
Dublin to sign friendship agreement with Douglas in summer
Total of 35 properties on council's dilapidated list
Equipment being sold off from popular former bar
