Renovation of a derelict factory site in Hull could create regeneration jobs after plans to create a business park on the land were put forward.
Building of the new Marfleet Environmental Technology Park could start in December if plans are approved and will refurbish an old Humbrol factory that remains there today.
East Yorkshire company iSpace are putting forward the proposals, and its director Paul Dixon says that there has been plenty of interest shown in the development.
"We have got a large international company wanting to bring a manufacturing and distribution unit there and we are at the very advanced stages of agreeing a long lease with them," he said.
Mr Dixon added that Hull's "great labour pool" would be ideal for companies to hire from.
The Humbrol factory used to be home of Airfix model kits, but went into administration in 2006. Hornby re-launched the brand later that year.
