The five focus areas are:
- Business, job creation and employment safeguarding
- Skills development
- Inclusive growth and regeneration
- Inward investment
- Enhancing South Kesteven’s tourism and visitor economy offer.
“South Kesteven District has a vibrant economy and is already a wonderful place to live and work,” said Councillor Ashley Baxter. “However, we recognise there is plenty of scope for economic improvement to enhance wealth, health and happiness.
"Our Economic Development Strategy is designed to prepare people and places for the future, strengthen our communities and preserve our heritage assets.
