Economic Regeneration

Lincolnshire, one of the largest and most sparsely populated areas of England, is made up of distinct economic and geographical areas. The rural areas are made up of a network of market towns and villages in the traditional agricultural setting.

The coastal strip features the traditional seaside towns of Mablethorpe and Skegness.  The expanding Greater Lincoln area features the historic and cultural quarters of Lincoln.  The A1 corridor, which has already benefited from private sector led growth, still has significant untapped potential and finally, the Fens with its strong and successful food and horticultural identity.
 
The Economic Regeneration section of Lincolnshire County Council delivers a range of economic, social and health services, addressing the needs of Lincolnshire people.  Over the last few years, the authority has led on projects that have created 2000 jobs, assisted 900 businesses, supported 700 community groups and provided 11,500 sq metres of business premises.  Over the next few years Economic Regeneration will engage with partners and activities that will consolidate on previous successes and move forward on projects that will:-

• develop infrastructure
• stimulate business expansions and inward investment
• encourage enterprise
• facilitate development of commercial properties
• support communities and develop people
• attract funding from relevant, external sources

The overall aims and objectives of the County Council are to improve the productivity, competitiveness, standard of living and the quality of life for the people and businesses of Lincolnshire.
