Economic growth

Rutland’s economic strategy – Multum in Parvo – sets out an aspirational and credible strategy for delivering a successful future for Rutland’s economy. This strategy is built on extensive evidence which highlights the economic opportunities and challenges we in Rutland face. The strategy establishes a framework with long-term objectives and priorities and offers an economic rationale to 2040. 

The central vision of our economic strategy is that we will harness the characteristics of the county to build the modern rural economy, with a productive, sustainable, and diverse business base. This is a prosperous county. People are attracted here to work, live and visit, drawn by the great quality of life, higher value jobs and excellent connectivity.

To achieve this vision, we have set four objectives which are the basis of our strategy:

1. new technologies and market industries
2. productive local businesses
3. skilled workers in quality local jobs
4. thriving places and communities

The strategy was adopted in March 2024. Read the Economic Growth Strategy.
