North West Development Agency targets regeneration hot-spots in new strategy

All have been earmarked as potential areas of development that could support new industries and economic activity, leading to new job opportunities.

NWDA chief executive Steve Broomhead said: “Strategic regional sites are an important tool in the strategy for the region’s economy.

“The NWDA can demonstrate a number of successful projects, including Chester Business Park, 3MG – the Ditton International Freight Terminal, the Estuary in Liverpool and the former Royal Ordnance Factory, in Chorley.”

He added: “The agency’s review has resulted in a number of amendments to the list of sites. I am confident this new list will give a clear sense of direction to public and private sector partners as we start to move out of recession and into recovery.”
