Cumberland Council has launched the Cumberland Economic Strategy.
A council spokesperson said the strategy is a "bold and comprehensive plan designed to accelerate sustainable growth, attract new investment, and create high‑quality opportunities for residents and businesses across the region."
Councillor Mark Fryer, leader of Cumberland Council, said: "This strategy marks a major milestone for Cumberland.
"It reflects our ambition to build a dynamic economy that works for everyone – one that nurtures innovation, supports local enterprise, and ensures our communities benefit from new jobs, skills and investment.
"Cumberland has enormous potential, and this plan gives us the roadmap to unlock it."
The council spokesperson added: "The Strategy seeks to deliver an improved economy and opportunity for all across Cumberland with a focus on boosting prosperity, supporting our offer as a place to live, work and invest and ensuring our communities have the best opportunities in life.
"Alongside these fundamentals the strategy identifies significant opportunity around clean growth, advanced manufacturing and nuclear, the visitor, leisure economy and culture, together with the rural economy and natural environment.
"In delivering there is a focus on boosting community wealth and meaningful partnership and collaboration.
"The strategy has been shaped through extensive engagement with residents, businesses, voluntary organisations and public‑sector partners.
"It will be delivered through a series of targeted programmes, investment plans and cross‑sector collaborations, with progress reviewed annually."
The strategy is available to read at www.cumberland.gov.uk/invest-in-cumberland.
It is set to be shared with investors and partners at the Cumbria UKREiiF pavilion in Leeds from May 19 to 21.
