Strood is in line for a huge economic boost, as more than £1billion is invested in Medway over the next 20 years, transforming it into a premier European city of learning, culture, tourism and enterprise. New homes and businesses at Strood Riverside, Temple Waterfront, Rochester Riverside and Chatham will see up to 16,000 homes and 40,000 jobs created on 900 hectares of ex-industrial "brownfield" land, spanning 11 spectacular kilometres of the River Medway. Strood is likely to experience significant pressure for change in the coming years, as it is well placed to benefit from wider regeneration initiatives, including the strategic plans for the Thames Gateway, as well as the Medway Renaissance Waterfront Strategy. It is vital that Strood becomes a healthy and vibrant centre that new residents and workers will use for day-to-day goods and services.
