Growth Deal announced for Causeway Coast and Glens

On the 29th July 2019, the Prime Minister announced a new £300m capital Growth Deal fund for Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. It has since been revealed that £72m has been allocated to Causeway Coast and Glens, after the NI Executive agreed to match fund the British Government’s Growth Deal allocation.  

• The Growth Deal capital fund will be used to support digital and innovation projects.  
• The Executive’s investment will focus additional funding on supporting Infrastructure, tourism and regeneration along with employability and skills.

In May 2020 Council established a Growth Deal Sub Committee, which includes eight Councillors and a representative from Ulster University to explore potential projects that could be funded through the Growth Deal.
