A huge swath of land in the UK could soon be home to thousands of jobs and a "nationally significant social care and health provision" that's being described as a "game-changer," the BBC reports.
The Teesdale Business Park and Marshalling Yards in Stockton-on-Tees are set to become what officials are calling a "care and health innovation zone," where social care, health care research, teaching, and housing will come together to create what Teesside University calls "a home for social care and health services, sector-specific businesses, research, teaching and learning facilities and housing to meet local needs," per the Northern Echo.
The plans, which still need to be approved by the government, are said to have the potential to create thousands of jobs.
"These proposals are hugely exciting and a game-changer for Teesdale and the region," says Paul Croney, vice-chancellor of Teesside University.
"We hope that the site will be used for pioneering modern health provision, which will better meet our residents' needs."
