Crewe Hall,

Crewe & Cheshire Development Plans 2017 | Event

 

 

 

 

 

HS2 has opened  up a corridor between the Midlands Engine and the Northern Powerhouse and the initiative once called the Northern Gateway is now called the Constellation.  This is a boundary breaking partnership between two Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEP) and seven Local Authorities, with strong Ministerial backing from Government, and a unified fast-track approach to plan-led economic development, making it all the more powerful an investment proposition.

These partners share a single vision – a single economic footprint creating a coherent investment market boosted by the international investment magnet of High Speed Rail connectivity. This is an unbeatable growth opportunity for investors.

With powerful Government backing, the partnership’s ambition is to deliver 100,000 new homes and 120,000 new jobs by 2040.

So what will we talk about . . . . . ?
