Island Plan on a page
The Plan on a Page brings together the Island Plan Vision and themes and the Economic Strategy’s Economic Ambitions; and outlines the Strategic Programmes that feed into the achievement of the overall Island Plan vision. Tynwald provided strong support for the Economic Strategy and its incorporation into the Island Plan, approving it in November 2022.
