The Integrated County Strategy (ICS) provides a shared vision for Essex, Southend, and Thurrock, to identify the priorities needed to achieve increased economic growth. The ICS will ensure that available funding is invested towards priorities which are most likely to generate long-term economic growth.

 

By producing the ICS and prioritising aspirations for growth, the area is taking a clear lead in responding to the current economic climate.  The ICS will be used by decision makers to guide the use of funding towards priorities that can achieve the greatest possible benefit for the area.
