Published in September 2024, East Sussex Prosperity is a strategy with a long-term view. Looking to 2050, the strategy seeks to secure sustainable economic growth, setting out how – over the next generation – East Sussex can secure better opportunities and living standards for the people who live in the county, and can help our businesses to thrive and grow.

Jointly produced by the County Council and Team East Sussex, the county’s business-led strategic advisory economic growth board, East Sussex Prosperity is an evidence-based strategy. Colleagues spent a full year reviewing what the economic evidence says about East Sussex, conducting detailed consultations and workshops with key partners and sectors including individual businesses and young people. Over 300 stakeholders contributed their views.

The next steps will be to develop a high-level implementation plan, outlining the missions needed to deliver the vision of a more prosperous future for all. The implementation plan will be published here in due course.

Moving forward, East Sussex Prosperity will remain a fluid and dynamic strategy, updated to reflect changes locally and nationally as we progress towards 2050.
