A NEW £2.3 million digital technology centre, C4DI Northallerton has been opened to mark the start of Business Week throughout Hambleton.
The centre at the new Treadmills site, built on the town's former prison is a digital hub for tech companies and traditional businesses working in agriculture and food processing.
It was opened by David Kerfoot MBE, he said: "This is a very historic place, it served our region as a prison for 225 years and ‘the old girl’ deserves to be both preserved and remembered for the huge support she gave.
"I am excited about its new future. This is an iconic part of Northallerton which deserves recognition, C4DI brings tech incubation, innovation and community together to mark a new beginning for the old prison."
It's being developed by the Central Northallerton Development Company, a joint venture between Hambleton council and the Wykeland Group.
