REGIONAL development agency Advantage West Midlands has put £9.5 million towards the Rotherwas Futures project - the first part of a "double whammy" deal that gets the county's biggest industrial estate its own access road and secures its future for expansion.
The cash commitment was confirmed today and is crucial to Herefordshire Council's plans for the estate.
The "double whammy" revealed by the Hereford Times in August sees a combination of public and private sector cash invested in the estate, which is home to 125 firms and saw its last major development in the 1980s.
The council went that way after the government turned down a third funding bid for the road in July.
