The Chancellor announced new Investment Zones to boost economic growth - LancashireCC have responded about the county being in the mix for one of them. And Samlesbury is hotly tipped to be in the running.
“We are delighted that Lancashire has been included in the initial wave of Investment Zone discussions given the opportunities that it will bring to attract further investment, unlock development and economic activity boosting jobs and growth to our county through a targeted approach.
“In all, our current pipeline of major development and infrastructure projects has an estimated value of more than £20 billion and we are at an advanced stage of developing further strategic investment opportunities with a wide range of national and regional partners.“Some of these are reflected in the recent £320m Levelling Up Fund bids made for the county to deliver a diverse range of priorities and attract further investment.
“With our partners, Lancashire continues to direct investment to unlock growth, jobs and opportunities from Eden Project North in Morecambe to Chorley in the south and from Blackpool and West Lancashire through central Lancashire and our strategic growth corridors including Hyndburn, Burnley and Pendle to the east, whilst cementing Lancashire’s strategic central place in the North West Cyber Corridor.
