Growth Strategy be approved.
(b) That
authority be delegated to the Portfolio Holder of Economic Development and

required following consideration by Cabinet.
Reason for the
Decision
One of the
priorities in the Dorset Council Plan 2020-2024 is to ‘deliver sustainable
economic growth, increasing productivity and the number of high-quality jobs in
Dorset, creating great places to live, work and visit.’ A prosperous and inclusive local economy is
vital to achieving the strategic priorities of the Council. The Economic Growth Strategy explains how the
Council will seek to deliver this priority and will be accompanied in due
course by a detailed action plan.
