The atmosphere in Lincolnshire is alive with enthusiasm this week as we celebrate several major economic achievements. These successes have engendered a mood of optimism within our local business network. We warmly welcome the opportunities for growth ahead, as our cherished county bravely enters a new era. Here, we take time to consider the prominent accomplishments of an outstanding week.
Of significant note, Lincolnshire’s involvement in the Humber’s carbon capture future has been resoundingly well received. The Viking CCS project emerges as a crucial strategy designed to future-proof heavy industry in the Humber region. We are proud of this initiative, as it marks our devotion to sustainable economic development. The widespread support for this project highlights our joint hope for an environmentally friendly Lincolnshire.
Shifting our attention now to Scunthorpe, where a vast 77-acre Forge Point Business Park is expected to revitalise the local economy. As part of the Lincolnshire Lakes project, this expansive employment park is projected to create numerous job opportunities and stimulate the local market. This development is sure to cast positive effects throughout the length and breadth of Lincolnshire.
Lastly, we’ve enjoyed a series of economic victories that have left us buoyant with a renewed sense of optimism. Lincolnshire is evidently flourishing, with an increase in apprenticeships and a burgeoning aviation industry. This clearly indicates a thriving, rather than merely surviving, environment. These achievements serve as a testimony to the resilience, creativity, and dynamism of our county.
As we look back on this week of triumphs, our Lincolnshire community is filled with heartfelt pride. We are not only observing the growth of our local companies, but also the reinforcement of our community spirit along with our joint vision for the future. Here’s to many more fruitful weeks akin to this.
