CORE areas provide... • Excellent infrastructure and logistics • Large amounts of available land for development including deep water access
• Skilled and available local workforce • Experienced supply chain • Easy access to Round 1, 2 and 3 offshore windfarms
• Extensive business support available • Local government support providing free location finding services and assistance on skills, premises and grant funding applications
