Market Chatter: Comcast's Universal Seeks Tax Breaks for Bedford Theme Park Project
Aug 19, 2024 5:00 AM

07:31 AM EDT, 08/19/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Comcast's ( CMCSA ) Universal Destinations & Experiences is negotiating with UK officials for tax and infrastructure incentives to establish a theme park in Bedford, the Financial Times reported Sunday, citing people close to the project.

Comcast's ( CMCSA ) decision to build the park at a 500-acre site in Bedford would partly hinge on economic incentives to mitigate risks, according to the report.

Comcast ( CMCSA ) is expected to decide before the end of the year, with the sources claiming the company could explore other potential sites for the theme park, the report said.

Comcast ( CMCSA ) declined to comment to the Financial Times and did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
