We know Cumbria has a lot going for it:

• our lead in Clean Energy and Engineering,

• our World Heritage Status as a tourist destination,

• fantastic farming and produce,

• hard-working communities and a culture of resilience.
   

Cumbria is a great place to invest, live and work.

 

Given the challenging economic outlook, the next round of investments will be hard fought – particularly those involving public money – and winning will require a distinct competitive edge, both for the host community and for the investor.

 

We believe creating a winning edge will only come from aligning commercial and community interests: shaping and implementing major investments in a way that builds confidence, entrepreneurship, self-reliance and sustainable social value for all our people now, and for future generations; tackling and reducing inequality in our communities.

 

Put simply, we want to attract the best commercial
developments to Cumbria.

 

Developments that deliver:

extraordinary returns for the investor

and

incredible social and economic value for all our communities across the county.
