Information about the strategy to support economic growth of West Norfolk
An economic strategy for West Norfolk
We are developing a new Economic Strategy for west Norfolk as part of our corporate priority to promote growth and prosperity. Whether you live, learn, visit, work, run a business or invest in west Norfolk, we want to hear your thoughts and ideas. The West Norfolk Economic Strategy will support the economic growth for all our businesses, people and places. This is intentionally timed to coincide with the launch of our new Corporate Strategy and the Norfolk Devolution Deal, which among other features includes new devolved powers, funding and tools for local transport, regeneration, housing and skills.
At the same time, the Norfolk County Council is preparing an economic strategy for the whole of Norfolk. These strategies are purposefully being developed together so they align, with local priorities captured in the Norfolk strategy, and county-wide themes tailored to the local area. One difference between the strategies is their time horizon: the Norfolk Economic Strategy is focused on the next five years, while the King’s Lynn West Norfolk Economic Strategy will take a longer-term view.
The West Norfolk Economic Strategy will be developed during the period JanuaryAugust 2024.
Below are the included steps to produce the strategy.
The strategy will consider key issues that impact on economic growth including business support and cluster growth, transport, infrastructure, skills, placemaking and regeneration.
Engagement
We want to hear from as many businesses, organisations and stakeholders to help us shape the vision and priorities for our strategy. To produce the strategy, we have invited people to take part in a survey and held a series of workshops, meetings and one to one discussions focusing on the opportunities, challenges and priorities that the economic strategies should respond to.
