DERBY and Derbyshire Economic Partnership (DDEP) has launched a new grant programme worth £5 million to help fund capital projects over the next three years.
The Invitation to Apply for Grant Funding (IAGF) is open to projects that will support infrastructure development within the rural and urban areas of High Peak, Derbyshire Dales, Amber Valley, Derby City, Erewash and South Derbyshire.
The programme aims to provide quality employment space; to invest in infrastructure related schemes; and to increase the potential for innovative businesses to start up, become established and thrive.
It is open to organisations and individuals from the public, voluntary and private sectors, including both SMEs and large enterprises, with applications worth between £75,000 and £1 million – 50% match funding will normally be required.
Kevin Edwards, chief executive of DDEP said: "These types of projects are essential for the long term development of the sub-region."
