Some six sites, including areas of Lincoln, have been identified as key zones for investment and job creation as part of the proposed Central Lincolnshire Local Plan.
An employment policy has been put together by Local Plan partners City of Lincoln Council, North Kesteven District Council, west Lindsey District Council and Lincolnshire County Council.
The policy sets out six areas totalling 122.7 hectares, that could accommodate significant growth and attract inward investment.
Councillors behind the plans are forecasting the creation of 11,894 full-time-equivalent jobs in the area by 2036.
The six areas are:
Teal Park, North Hykeham
Lincoln Science and Innovation Park
Network 46, Camp Road, Witham St Hughs
Somerby Park, Gainsborough
Sleaford Enterprise Park
Land at Hemswell Cliff

Councillor Jeff Summers, chair of the committee and Leader of West Lindsey District Council, said: “This plan has come together through years of research and consultation with businesses and agencies. It is a development structure plan designed to create an appropriate balance of housing, employment and infrastructure to meet the modern needs of Lincolnshire people both now and into the future.”
Councillor Ric Metcalfe, Vice Chair of the committee and Leader of City of Lincoln Council, said: “It’s important that people make their views known and the consultation events are the opportune time to seek any further information you may require, or ask questions about the plan.
“I urge anyone who has a view on the plan to have their say as it’s imperative that we collate all opinions to shape such an important document for the future of Central Lincolnshire.”
