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.
