Draft Economic Development Strategy Forward Plan item scheduled for Cabinet on 24 November 2016. Minutes: The Economic Development Manager presented the draft Economic Development Strategy report to Members.
It was reported that the replacement Economic Development Strategy had been created with the economic performance of Horsham for the past few years in mind. Since the adoption of the Horsham District Local Plan (HDLP), the Economic Development team had the offer of strategic sites and positive planning policies to encourage economic growth. The team felt that they could now move forward with a proactive new economic strategy, spanning the next 10 years, to support local business whilst attracting new investments.
The Economic Development Manager took Members through the key objectives for the new strategy that were based on five priorities for the strategy:
1. Inward Investment 2. Enterprise 3. Skills and Employment 4. Infrastructure 5. Promoting the District Offer
Members were then shown a detailed action plan, created in conjunction with HDC’s partners and stakeholders, to deliver economic growth and help realise the overall vision.
Members then discussed the proposed strategy with Officers with the overall view that the proposed strategy would be good for Horsham.
