David Skaith visited the Gascoigne Interchange site at Sherburn-in-Elmet after North Yorkshire Council approved plans for 1.5 million square feet of industrial and logistics space across seven units.
Today, the Harworth Group invited Mayor Skaith, Selby MP Keir Mather and North representatives from Yorkshire Council to visit the site and share their vision for it, ahead of work starting next year.
The site, close to railways and the A1 (M), operated as a colliery for decades until it was closed in 2004.
The proposed scheme, on a brownfield site, is seen as a major public-private partnership, capable of delivering up to £190million in gross development value.
Mayor Skaith said: “Public and private sector relationships are essential for our region to reach its full potential. Developers like the Harworth Group are at the heart of our approach.
