The prospectus has been prepared by partners across the city and sets out • Build an economic environment our ambitions to transform Newport over the next 10 years. Much has of growth and success been achieved in recent years – the completion and opening of Friars Walk retail and leisure centre in 2015 has perhaps been the best example of the • Move Newport up the city’s transformation. ‘value chain’ Newport’s location, sense of identity and growing confidence means the foundations are now in place to fulfil the city’s economic potential. The city has a proud and varied history and we want to build a future which respects this legacy whilst recognising that future economic growth will be founded on very different skills. We are home to many successful and growing businesses and the city is projected to grow significantly over the next 10 years. Our key aim over that period is to create the conditions which will stimulate further investment. This means we need to build our social capital as well as maintaining our focus on physical regeneration. Ultimately we want to make Newport a city where everyone can achieve their potential. The abolition of the Severn Bridge tolls have removed a critical barrier to investment and we now stand on the verge of an important new era for the city. Newport will soon be home to the Wales International Convention Centre which is another example of how the profile of the city is changing.

  • CITY of NEWPORT Investment Prospectus
    CITY OF NEWPORT Investment Prospectus Dinas CASNEWYDD OUR OBJECTIVES Foreword On behalf of the Newport Economic Network we are delighted • Deliver shared prosperity to present our investment prospectus for the city of Newport. • Build an economic environment The prospectus has been prepared by partners across the city and sets of growth and success out our ambitions to transform Newport over the next 10 years. Much has been achieved in recent years – the completion and opening of Friars • Move Newport up the Walk retail and leisure centre in 2015 has perhaps been the best example ‘value chain’ of the city’s transformation. Newport’s location, sense of identity and growing confidence means the foundations are now in place to fulfil the city’s economic potential. The city has a proud and varied history and we want to build a future which respects this legacy whilst recognising that future economic growth will be founded on very different skills. We are home to many successful and growing businesses and the city is projected to grow significantly over the next 10 years. Our key aim over that period is to create the conditions which will stimulate further investment. This means we need to build our social capital as well as maintaining our focus on physical regeneration. Ultimately, we want to make Newport a city where everyone can achieve their potential. The abolition of the Severn Bridge tolls has removed a critical barrier to investment and we stand on the verge of an important new era for the city. Newport is now home to the Wales International Convention Centre, which is another example of how the profile of the city is changing.
