Development Brief - Economic Development Zone 


Bolton Economic Development Zone (EDZ) and M61 corridor offer significant business benefits to inward investors, drawing on its historical strengths as a centre of excellence in technological innovation and high-tech manufacturing. The area has undergone significant regeneration and offers modern appeal to businesses of all types, from dotcom companies and advanced manufacturers, through to high end office occupiers looking for regional or Headquarter locations.

The EDZ has the following strategic development opportunities:

  • Horwich Loco Works (see internal link to the right hand side)
  • Hercules Business Park
  • Cutacre (see internal link to the right hand side)

Alongside the above strategic development opportunities the EDZ and M61 Corridor offers a range of investment opportunities on offer at Middlebrook and Parklands Business Park and Wingates Industrial Estate, offering modern and cost effective premises for both office and industrial businesses looking to relocate or expand their operations.

The opportunities available at Bolton EDZ and the M61 corridor are benefited by excellent rail and road transports links, with excellent housing offer that suits a range of budgets, alongside a thriving retail and leisure offer, providing everything a business needs to succeed.
