Economic growth | Shropshire Council

The Economic Growth Team plays a key role in supporting and developing Shropshire’s economy. Our vision is to support and promote the economic growth and prosperity of Shropshire by attracting investment, creating jobs, enhancing skills, supporting businesses and developing infrastructure. We work with partners across the county to develop the infrastructure required for sustainable economic growth.

Our work is divided into four themes:

Shropshire Map — Regenerating Shropshire

Connecting Shropshire (digital infrastructure) — Connecting Shropshire
