[Boroproud]

Excellent news

I'm not keen on port. Doesn't it give you gout? Still, if they're giving it away for free...

 

[Jedi boro]

That is brilliant news

 

[Jimstewart]

Great news

Interesting fact, I saw on TV (I think it was Satuday Kitchen) a few weeks ago, you're more likely to get gout from beer than port.

Good news though

Never thought I’d hear myself say it , but well played Ben Houchen and naturally backup teams . I suspect the treasury employees had a vote and couldn’t turn down watching the Boro

 

[Blf]

Never thought we would get this. Ben Houtchen and everyone involved have done really well. After decade upon decade of decay its unbelievable that it's a conservative government that is helping Teesside .

 

[indeedido]

Houchen rightly got a mention and the Freeport and Treasury announcements were a tremendous lift for this area.

 

[Borobarmy]

I would imagine this vindicates his airport project as it must have been a positive element to the move as well as station revamp .
Lots of Teesside peripheral villages will do well housing wise but that extra GDP from top job salaries is bound to enhance the Teesside and South Durham economy not to forget Croft etc .

So, what's a freeport and how does it benefit an area?

I don’t know but I’m still jumping up and down cheering

 

[tripleheader]

Freeport in Redcar, and also in the Bahamas, who would have thought.

Any new Boro fans with a Darlo postcode looking for a season ticket should be charged double

Teesside awarded 'biggest' Freeport with promise of tsunami of jobs

THE Chancellor has announced that the bid to set up the UK’s first and biggest freeport in Teesside has been given the green light.

should attract businesses into the area it covers to take advantage of less red tape for importing, exporting, tax etc.

From the guardian. Wouldnt let me copy anymore.
Free ports or zones are designated by the government as areas with little to no tax in order to encourage economic activity. While located geographically within a country, they essentially exist outside its borders for tax purposes.
Companies operating within free ports can benefit from deferring the payment of taxes until their products are moved elsewhere, or can avoid them altogether if they bring in goods to store or manufacture on site before exporting them again.
Plus lots of other advantages in the service sectors of the area.
Went on to say that any area granted this status would see up to 18,000 new jobs created within 4 yrs of the announcements and more in the extended area

i always thought it was RED-Ker tbh...

[Jedi boro]

Exit it was lip service why I’d there such a clamour for them. This is a huge day for our area.

brilliant news as this will put us on the map... again

They will probably bring their Man utd cards with them from Surrey.
