Work on a £4.3m expansion of a Shropshire business park is due to begin next month.
Bishop’s Castle Business Park will be expanded by 50,000 square feet.
The Shropshire Council-owned park secured £1.27m European Regional Development funding last year, while the council has agreed to spend a further £3.1m.
Contractors SJ Roberts are due to begin work on the site in July with an opening date set for March 2022.
Councillor Ed Potter said: “We are absolutely dedicated to boosting the Shropshire economy as we emerge from the coronavirus pandemic and this forms part of a huge project to enhance our business parks.
“This will allow many Shropshire firms to expand and grow locally – creating more jobs for local people and securing further jobs already taken by residents."

Plans have been submitted for the Gower Building in Telford.
Nuplace,Telford & Wrekin Council's housing company, have put forward the proposals for the building in St Georges, which include homes, a new parish office and community space, and play facilities on at least one play park close to the site.
Councillor Lee Carter, said: "We fully recognise that The Gower is an extremely iconic asset in the local community and it is our priority to ensure that a scheme is delivered which not only protects the future of the historic building but also finds an appropriate use for it.”
Built in 1873, the building opened as hospital, before being turned into a school a few years later. It was then converted into a youth club, before closing in 2005.
A decision on the plans is expected in autumn 2021.
