creating local employment, and the space to grow business in Nairnshire

We would love to hear how you would facilitate local employment throughout Nairnshire. From a rural economy, to a complimentary digital one, from renewables and embracing Ardersier Free Port to service and tourism. Just what would you do to encourage and foster investment in Nairnshire? Do we have the capacity for business growth? Is their sufficient land supply, power, water, and sewerage? Do we have the skills in the community? How do we build a circular economy in Nairnshire?
