The Lincolnshire Economic Strategy has been developed and been endorsed by the Lincolnshire Assembly. 

Lincolnshire is a distinctive and diverse county which offers much for residents and investors alike. Rural living, good schools and good value housing make Lincolnshire an attractive place for those wishing to live, work or retire here. The county has experienced the highest growth in population in the region, the third largest in the country. Agriculture and food remain integral to the Lincolnshire economy, but there has been significant growth in other sectors, such as tourism, services and construction, and the ‘green shoots’ of new sectors emerging.

Continued action and investment by the Assembly’s partners are needed for this growth to be sustained, particularly in a climate of global economic uncertainty. There remain a number of challenges for the Lincolnshire economy; including low skills, low levels of new business creation, and growing disparities in health, deprivation and opportunity, particularly in rural and coastal areas. Environmental sustainability, and the risk of coastal and river flooding, are growing concerns for many areas of Lincolnshire.
