We're in partnership with developers and the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA).  We're investing in Barnsley and creating options which will inspire employers in the borough.

Regional economic plan

As part of the SYMCA we've secured funding for projects within six priorities:

• skills, employment and education
• business growth
• housing and infrastructure. This is done though the integrated plan
• transport
• trade and investment
• promoting the city region

The SYMCA Strategic Economic Plan aims to deliver 70,000 new private sector jobs and 6000 new businesses over a ten year period.
