Telford & Wrekin Council leader Kuldip Sahota told delegates the town was "the fastest growing in the West Midlands".
Councillor Sahota said it was progressing with building a sustainable community with top quality housing.
He claimed Telford & Wrekin Council was becoming a business-winning, business-supporting authority and that Southwater and other schemes amounted to an £800m investment programme which would benefit 170,000 residents, 5,000 businesses and 150 major firms.
Councillor Sahota said that the council was being radical, with hopes of building a solar farm and 600 homes for rent, owned by the council.
