The East Midlands Mayor will be encouraged to target sites that benefit as many people across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire as possible
Nottingham's Broad Marsh site has not been part of a "specific discussion" about the key East Midlands sites that the region's first mayor might want to develop. The former shopping centre will be "in the mix" of options for whoever gets the new job after the May 2 election, but they will be encouraged to go for projects that will benefit as many people across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire as possible.
Mark Rogers, the interim chief executive of the EMCCA, says preparatory work before the mayor takes office has included discussing the development sites that can be brought forward as options for the East Midlands Mayor to work on. Asked whether the Broad Marsh was one of those sites, Mr Rogers said: "It will be in the mix of options but it's not been a subject of specific discussion by the non-mayoral board.
"We're looking at things that really leverage skills, employment. will definitely have their own ideas about what to begin with is a modest amount of investment that they can make."
