- A local development corporation was announced over summer, involving Rochdale and Bury, Andy Burnham and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority.
- Plans include an Atom Valley Northern Gateway manufacturing hub, 1,200,000 square metres of employment space, 3,000 homes, and improved public spaces, roads and paths.
