Vision for 2030

Our vision is for a Durham where people are altogether wealthier.   A modern and dynamic County characterised by excellent quality of place, competitive businesses, a highly skilled labour market and high levels of economic activity.  It is a vision of sustainable places where people want to visit, live, work and invest.   

By 2030 County Durham will be known for:

• Its diverse and competitive economy, which has made County Durham an attractive place to work and invest.
• Its importance as a significant visitor destination and the renaissance of its small towns and villages.
• Its well educated, skilled and enterprising people.
