North Kesteven District Council purchased 37 acres of land at Sleaford Moor Enterprise Park in a move to stop a stalemate between private developers.
The council would not disclose the value of the transaction, but said its motivation for purchasing the land alongside the A17 is to benefit the wider district economy.
It is part of a new strategy which will see North Kesteven District Council take direct action where it feels a project can deliver new opportunities, unlock potential and derive an income to support operations at the council.
