Further public meeting over Knockaloe future

by isleofman.com 20th April 2016
The Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture (DEFA) is keeping the public informed over the future of Knockaloe Farm.

The Department will hold a further public meeting at Patrick Church Hall on Wednesday 11th May at 7.30pm.

DEFA ceased to operate the 337-acre farm in 2010.

The site has historic significance as it housed internees during World War One.

Working with MHKs, commissioners and the community, DEFA has investigated uses for the farm that will create an attraction offering economic development while paying heed to its history.

Public meetings were held in September 2014 and May 2015.

Richard Ronan MHK, Minister for Environment, Food and Agriculture, said: ‘We will soon be in a position to market Knockaloe to a suitable tenant who will develop the site and buildings to create economic development opportunities there, in line with its history and heritage.

‘In holding a further meeting, we are fulfilling our promise to continue to involve stakeholders in our progress.’
