The plans also aim to generate £500 million of additional Gross Value added by 2030
Plans to create 12,000 new jobs and add half a billion pounds of value in Nottingham have been launched. Nottingham City Council and Nottingham Growth Board, which are behind the plan, say it will make the city an attractive place to invest.
City council deputy leader Councillor Ethan Radford said: "The goals are ambitious but feasible. We have a Labour council, mayor and a government – finally – which can get us to the place we need to be in. "We’re trying to create an image of Nottingham where we accept the mistakes we’ve made, get our house in order and get Nottingham to a place where it’s an attractive place to invest," Cllr Radford said. The plan will target four key areas, including people and skills, enterprise and investment, infrastructure and regeneration, and quality of life in the city.
The next £4 billion of regenerative investment in Nottingham will be achieved through a "contemporary, clean, and globally competitive" city centre with "bustling and attractive" neighbourhoods that draw people to a rich leisure, sporting, and heritage experience. Nick Ebbs, chair of the Nottingham Growth Board, said businesses should focus on the city's potential rather than its problems.
