Exciting developments are on the horizon for Montrose and Forfar, with new projects aiming to enhance local communities.
Montrose: Big plans are brewing for the old Rope Works in Montrose. This historic building, which dates back to the early 1800s, is set for a makeover. It used to be a hub for making ropes and sails, but it’s been sitting empty for a while now.
The new owners have some cool ideas. They want to turn it into a lively spot with a bakery, a café, an antiques shop, a yoga studio, a hairdresser, and even some office space. Sounds like a great place to hang out, right?
They’re hoping to create around 20 jobs, which is fantastic news for the community. Plus, it’ll breathe new life into that part of town.
Over in Forfar, there’s also some exciting news. A trust that looks after homes for NHS nurses wants to build four new apartments. They already have some one-bedroom flats nearby, and now they’re eyeing a vacant piece of land for this new project.
The site is pretty spacious, and they’ve put in a request to get the green light for the new apartments. They plan to chop down a few old trees but will plant 24 new ones and a beech hedge to keep things green.
It’s great to see these developments happening in Montrose and Forfar. They’re not just about building; they’re about creating spaces for people to enjoy and thrive.
