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.
