Our Wolverhampton Investment Plan focuses on five core themes: employment and skills; changing perceptions of the city; regeneration and renewal; connectivity (digital and transport); and vibrancy and footfall.
The Investment plan aims to ensure that regeneration benefits are felt beyond the city centre through projects in and around Bilston Market and Wednesfield Market and their High Streets, as well as the canal towpath development.
Stimulating the city centre’s residential offer is also key to the bid to accelerate the delivery of transformational schemes such as Brewers Yard and Horseley Fields as part of Canalside regeneration.
There is a focus on bringing vibrancy and vitality within the city and town centres through the delivery of an Arts Park next to the Grand Theatre and City Centre Public Realm Phase 2, plus a Bilston Market, Wednesfield Market and High Street events programme.
Future proofing is also at the heart of the bid by exploiting Wolverhampton’s part in the UK’s first multi city 5G test bed.
