A Plan to Reshape our Economy

Our plan for reshaping our economy lines up with the current government agenda, to protect jobs and develop opportunity for higher skills.

We have an opportunity to tailor the government agenda to the specifics of our region and its diversity of places, whilst strengthening our region’s ambitions and USP for green technologies and a carbon negative economy.

The plan follows on from the immediate COVID response and aims to address the economic challenges businesses are continuing to face as well as focusing on stimulating growth over the next 18 to 24 months, accelerating a transition towards a carbon negative economy.

“This plan, brought together through meaningful and effective collaboration, will focus on stimulating growth over the next 18 to 24 months and lay the ground to make the most of whatever comes next. Our partners and all local authorities across the region have worked incredibly hard to shore up our economy through the crisis of the pandemic. Working together, we can reshape the economy, come through the crisis together and drive growth that will make York and North Yorkshire a greener, fairer and stronger place.”  

David Kerfoot MBE DL, Chair of the York & North Yorkshire LEP Board.
