A Midlands business chief has outlined the eight major projects across Nottinghamshire which he says act as the county's "shop window." Major housing developments such as Top Wighay and transformational work such as Nottingham's Broad Marsh are among the projects which Midlands Engine mentions in its 'investment portfolio' for Nottinghamshire.
In a recent interview at Midlands Engine's Trent Bridge House base, its Chief Executive, Roger Mendonca, spoke about some of the key challenges facing the region's economy over the coming years. Among the challenges, he said there are jobs across the region which could be "lost" if industries do not adapt in line with climate change concerns.
Mr Mendonca says one of the key focuses for Midlands Engine is therefore how the region transitions to a "green economy", mainly through energy production. The Midlands Engine seeks to boost and promote the region's economic growth through producing its own research, organising major events and engaging with the highest levels of Government throughout the year.
