Real innovation would be using brownfield sites in the town...

I don't think there are any brownfield sites in Montrose... Glaxo might have some land, but given recent investments in the site, I can't see them giving up any. This is planned for the old Aerodrome, which is as close as you'll get to brownfield there.
