Following Cabinet member approval to support submission of an
outline business case to Government in September 2021 (minute xx
refers), this report now seeks approval for the Council to support
submission of a Full Business Case (FBC) to the Ministry of
Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) to create a
freeport in the Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire
area.
The East Midlands Freeport (EMF), if approved, will bring
additional powers and funding to improve the regional economy as
the Council ‘builds back better’ from COVID-19 and
responds constructively to the opportunities generated by the
UK’s exit from the European Union (EU).
