Therese said: "A great start to 2023 for East Suffolk with the final approval by the government of Freeport East, a collaboration between the ports of Felixstowe and Harwich, with up to £25m investment for our area. Alongside generous tax reliefs and a simplified customs procedure all backed up by a package of trade and innovation support for businesses locating here. This will mean thousands of highly skilled jobs and Freeport East could become a world-leading centre for clean energy production propelling the UK’s net zero decarbonisation efforts, particularly through its role as a green hydrogen hub. The Freeport now has the freedom to flourish."
