About Rochdale Development Agency (RDA)
We are making Rochdale borough
a more prosperous and vibrant place by encouraging new economic investment
and physical development.
(RDA mission statement)
Rochdale Development Agency is a unique organisation in the region. We were
established in 1993 when Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council took the bold
step to set up a not-for-profit company to lead on the regeneration of the
borough. While this connects us with the commercial sector, we remain in touch
with the Council through their representation on the board and by working together
to deliver the broad vision for the borough.
Our business acumen, contacts and knowledge are helping to secure unprecedented
levels of investment into the borough as, among other things, we lead on
developing the massive Kingsway Business Park, the redevelopment of Rochdale
Town Centre, contribute to delivering Housing Market Renewal and attract
new business to the area.
Over the next ten years, we will be at the centre of creating 10,000 new
jobs and securing hundreds of millions of pounds of new investment.
This website gives just a flavour of what we are involved in and how Rochdale
is being transformed. It also gives you some of the information you will
need to help you make your investment decisions. Please feel welcome to contact
us for any further information or support you may need.
