i54 South Staffordshire is a 239-acre (98 hectare) UK technology-based business park strategically located at Junction 2 on the M54 Motorway in the West Midlands, on the boundary of South Staffordshire and Wolverhampton.
i54 South Staffordshire is a £50 million pound joint venture partnership between Staffordshire County Council, Wolverhampton City Council and South Staffordshire Council and has attracted global business occupants, which have in turn warranted visits from the UK Prime Minister David Cameron and Her Majesty The Queen. It benefits from Enterprise Zone Status and falls within the Black Country Enterprise Zone.
The site entrance is at Junction 2 of the M54 Motorway, just to the west of the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal. The site is home to several global high-tech and advanced manufacturing companies including MOOG Aerospace, Eurofins Laboratories, International Security Printers (ISP) and the home of the £500 million UK advance engine manufacturing facility of Jaguar Land Rover.
The aim of this strategically location business site is to deliver major employment opportunities and maximise job creation potential in key industries. It will also play a key role in the diversification and growth of the regional economy. It is also believed that i54 South Staffordshire will achieve high standards of sustainability.
The regeneration project is a joint venture between Wolverhampton City Council, Staffordshire County Council and South Staffordshire Council.
