Economic Regeneration

Located on the east coast, Lincolnshire is the fourth largest county in England and Wales. It covers an area of 5,921 sq km (2,200 sq miles). The traditional strengths of the county's prosperity - agriculture and engineering, are still there, together with the ancillary industries that have grown with them, notably distribution and food processing.

But growth is also beginning to come from tourism, high tech and new economy businesses that are recognising the unique potential of Lincolnshire as a platform for future growth.

The Economic Regeneration department 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 over 3,000 jobs, assisted approximately 900 businesses, provided 12,390 sq metres of business premises as well as supported 700 community groups. 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:-

Regenerate and grow our urban areas
stimulate business creation, expansion, innovation and inward investment
encourage enterprise
facilitate development of commercial sites, properties and business infrastructure
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.
