The City Deal is anticipated to generate 15,000 construction jobs during the construction period and 29,000 permanent additional jobs once construction is complete; give the City Region a permanent uplift in its Gross Value Added (GVA) of £2.2billion per annum and unlock £3.3billion of private sector investment.
