Working with our partners, we are investing over £60 million in the Cumbrian economy to stimulate economic growth.
Our pipeline of projects and significant investment packages are creating and safeguarding thousands of jobs, providing modern new business space and levering in millions of pounds of additional private sector investment.
We work to build a strong economy by tackling barriers to sustainable growth and supporting job creation for the future prosperity of communities across Cumbria.
The Cumbria LEP is also working with businesses and the public and voluntary and community sectors to develop the county's new Local Industrial Strategy which will highlight Cumbria's strengths and make a compelling case to Government and the private sector for investment up to 2030.
