Birmingham Enterprise Zone

A submission has been made to the government for the creation of an enterprise zone in Birmingham. 
The Chancellor has earmarked Greater Birmingham as one of 21 areas that will benefit from an enterprise zone in his budget speech last month.
The plans were outlined yesterday at Local Enterprise Partnership meeting and include a second phase to create an enterprise belt covering the remaining area of the LEP.
Bridget Blow, chair of Greater Birmingham and Solihull LEP, said the plans make “a compelling business case for government to grant out proposals for creating both an enterprise zone and belt.”
