GROW Powys Economic Strategy - Have you had your say?
13 March 2026
The draft strategy, which sets out a vision for growing a stronger, fairer and greener local economy through to 2040, focuses on seven key growth sectors, including advanced manufacturing, energy, rural and foundational economies, tourism and events, and skills development.
It also places strong emphasis on sustainability, resilience, and creating better paid opportunities for people who live and work in Powys.
Cllr Glyn Preston, Cabinet Member for a More Prosperous Powys, said: "This strategy sets out an ambitious but practical vision for how we grow the Powys economy in a way that works for our communities, businesses and our environment.
"We want this to be shaped by the people of Powys, which is why this engagement is so important. Whether you are a resident, business owner, or community representative, I encourage you to get involved, and help us shape the future of our county."
