Mayor visits US Embassy

The United States is strategically important to Greater Lincolnshire and the Mayor is committed to strengthening and building on the special relationship with America.

Dame Andrea Jenkyns, Mayor of Greater Lincolnshire, said:

"It was a great visit to the US Embassy and I met with officials to talk about our opportunities in Lincolnshire - particularly for inward investment in our food and agri-tech and defence and security sectors. This is an important part of the Mayoral role in speaking up for our area, building relationships and generating growth."
