The opportunities this will bring for the county's construction industry are huge. Billions of pounds are set to be invested, creating a new era of growth for businesses, and a truly sustainable community for present and future generations.
Solid commitment to sustainable development will ensure our county retains its beauty while delivering this ambitious growth. This evolution reflects Northamptonshire's strengths as a business location where the local employment growth rate is already more than double the national average.
