Refreshed Worcestershire Economic Strategy 2010-20
The Worcestershire Economic Strategy has been refreshed after
detailed consultation process with the stakeholders and is endorsed
by the Worcestershire County Council Cabinet and Worcestershire
Partnership Economy and Transport Theme Group (ETTG). The
refreshed strategy provides a long term vision, focus and context
for economic development and regeneration in the county. The
primary aim of the strategy is to address the key economic
challenges – especially mitigating the long term impact of
recession – facing the county, particularly focusing on
intervention that can begin now to have a positive impact over the
next 10 years. The strategy is intended to be an integrated
document and whilst the central focus is the economy, inevitably
there is a broader frame of reference that incorporates social,
environmental and spatial factors and also gains significance in
view of medium to long term response to the recession.
