Create thriving environments
Lincolnshire is a thriving county with a unique geography and natural heritage to be enjoyed and protected.
We want to build on our ambition of high aspirations and enhance our strengths, to sustain and develop a prosperous future. A thriving county means being connected and making sure families have access to great services and good quality jobs.
We will work with others to enable the county to exceed its potential, making it an even better place for residents, visitors, and business.
Success looks like:
- Thriving businesses creating high skilled jobs and investing in technology
- Roads and transport infrastructure that meet the needs of residents, businesses and visitors
- Connected communities where the digital infrastructure is as important as any basic utility
- Tourism destinations that are prosperous and attractive to visitors
- Our green spaces, natural and built environment are protected for the future
- Innovative water management that meets supply needs and protects our coast and areas at risk of flooding

- Supported nearly 900 businesses from a £11.5m grant to help them survive the impact of the pandemic and help them grow in the future
- Launched a Green Tourism Toolkit to help businesses to contribute to environmental improvements whilst also attracting tourists to the area who are concerned with the environment
