With the government about to give the go ahead, a game changing moment for BHX and the City region is about to take place.
Not only will this place the airport at the very heart of the UK transport network, but the investors will flock to the city. Birmingham is now the alternative to London. The certainty of phase one puts it within an easy commute from London, not the other way round. With property rents for Class A offices at around a quarter of the west end and a third the City, Birmingham and the economic powerhouse of the M42 are as attractive as the Thames Valley.
The university sector will be strengthened and with that R&D and the creative sectors. Even our sports teams may see a spike or two!
Whether BHX attracts new airlines looking for an alternative to London remains to be seen, but the airport is within the same time range as Stansted!
Great times are afoot. Even better when the North links into the city region. Build it and they will definitely come.
