US real estate developer Commercial Development Company has renamed a former coal-fired power station in Massachusetts the Brayton Point Commerce Center as part of plants to turn the site into a hub for the offshore wind industry.
CDC said the new brand and logo will help to reposition Brayton Point as a logistics port, manufacturing hub and support centre for the offshore wind energy sector.
It has launched a new website to provide updates as the Brayton Point Commerce Center project moves forward.
The website will also provide answers to frequently asked questions, photos and videos of the development progress and other information about the project.
CDC acquired the 125-hectare site in January. The company aims to provide a deep water port for large trans-Atlantic vessels.
CDC executive vice president Stephen Collins said: “We believe the outstanding logistical attributes of Brayton Point combined with public support for energy diversification has created a historic opportunity to help advance the offshore wind energy sector with this development.
“The acreage available will also give the Brayton Point Commerce Center the capacity to accommodate other industries as well.”
