Andy Street, Mayor of the West Midlands, said the prospectus offered investors an exciting opportunity to help drive transformational change across the region.
“More and more major national and indeed global players are recognising the investment opportunities on offer here in our region.
“This Investment Prospectus comes on the back of last summer’s hugely successful Commonwealth Games as well as the new Deeper Devolution Deal this March where we secured £1.5 billion of new funding from the Government.”
Work has commenced on all sites featured in the 2018 prospectus, which included landmark projects such as Friargate in Coventry and the UK Central Hub and HS2 Interchange project in Solihull, with many of them now built.
