Denbighshire has been allocated almost £26m from a new UK Government fund set up to replace the money it used to receive from Europe before Brexit.
And it is now looking for
applications on how to spend it in the county to benefit communities and place,
local businesses and people and skills.
Projects must be submitted by later
this month.
The £2.6 billion UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) was launched last April to succeed the old EU structural funds and is described as the central pillar of the UK Government’s Levelling Up agenda.
Its aims are to boost productivity, pay, jobs and living standards,
spread opportunities and improve public services, restore a sense of community,
local pride and belonging and empower local leaders and communities.
Denbighshire will get a total of £25.6 million to invest over
three years.
The
first call for UKSPF projects is now live and will remain open until midday on February
24.
