The projects, people and businesses powering the county's regeneration.

Lancashire Business View will return once again with its popular Built Environment Conference in September in association with Blackpool and the Fylde College, Blackpool Makes it Work, Connections2energy and Harrison Drury Solicitors.

This year the focus of the conference will the big ticket projects happening across the county.

We’ll look at where they’re at, what impact they’ll have and consider if we have enough of them in the pipeline.

This will include a look at local masterplans, regional strategies and projects such as Eden Project Morecambe, Silicon Sands Blackpool, Station Gateway Preston, Blackburn’s masterplan, Lancashire Central and Farington Cricket and the county’s enterprise zones.  

We’ll also cover as part of the event:

  • ESG
  • Planning
  • Housing
  • Skills
  • Levelling up
  • Innovation
  • Investment and regeneration
  • Supply chain opportunities

And with the event scheduled for just a few months after the general election this July, we’ll address what the results mean on both a wider and more regional scale.

We will also revisit Lancashire’s long-term strategic plan for the future: ‘Lancashire 2050’, which took focus at the 2023 conference, to review where we’re at now.
