Economic strategy

We are building a prosperous West Yorkshire: an inclusive economy with well paid jobs that works for everyone.

A brighter, stronger West Yorkshire

In December 2024, the Combined Authority committee approved the West Yorkshire Local Growth Plan.

The Local Growth Plan sets out our priorities for the next 10 years. It highlights the assets, strengths and opportunities we have and what we will do to make the most of them. It has been developed in partnership with our local authorities, learning institutions, businesses and communities.

A lot of research and consultation went into making the Local Growth Plan. We have made that research available here.
