A64 Growth Partnership – Case Studies
The A64 Growth Partnership is a partnership of local businesses, Councils and our Local Enterprise Partnership – working closely to secure the improvement of the A64 between York and the East Coast – to unlock transformational growth of the region and the UK economy.
The LEP are looking for business case studies that identify potential challenges to your operations and opportunities that could be unlocked by furthered investment in the improvement of the A64.
Although business orientated, local businesses who benefit from cycle tourism may wish to comment on making sure that any improvements make the A64 easier for cyclists and pedestrians to cross.
All case studies are welcome, to be used to support the A64 Growth Partnership’s communications. Please send your case study through to the following address: enquiries@businessinspiredgrowth.com
