There was submitted a report by the Chief Executive relative to the award of a contract for design and construction works for the Clyde Waterfront and Renfrew Riverside (CWRR) project.
The report indicated that the CWRR project aimed to regenerate the Clyde Waterfront as an attractive riverside and urban area that supported existing and promoted new residential, industrial, commercial, business, retail and leisure opportunities. With the construction of a new bridge across the River Clyde, which would accommodate vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists, and the construction of the Renfrew North Development Road, the project would better link communities and businesses on both sides of the river.
The area also included vacant, derelict, and underused sites that offered potential for development of new and enhanced commercial, business and housing use.
