The Chester Renaissance Vision

The mission of Chester Renaissance is:

• To drive momentum and bring added value to efforts to complete and accelerate the economic growth of Chester, working closely with private sector investors and public sector funding bodies to celebrate the past and re-energise the future.

Chester Renaissance's role is to support the efforts of the partners to complete and accelerate economic growth of the city, working to ensure that delivery happens in a timely manner.  Our work will contribute to the wider area of the Cheshire West and Chester Borough by providing a strengthened and focused capacity to deliver change and support its partners.  The opportunities for Chester are limitless and therefore Chester Renaissance's plans are aspirational and recognise the areas for opportunity whilst also being achievable. 

Chester Renaissance views key developments in the following areas as essential:

• Development and delivery of change.
• Communication – locally, regionally, nationally and internationally.
• Employment – providing quality employment opportunities across all sectors.
• Education – continue to support the mission and vision of the University of Chester.
• Historic – continue to invest in improvement in our oldest assets.
• Natural/environmental – continue to work towards transforming the already highly popular Chester Zoo into the largest conservation, animal and leisure attraction of its kind in Europe.
• Quality of place.
