Millions in funding available for economy boosting bids in Norfolk
Norfolk's been identified as a priority area for the funding.
Norfolk organisations are being encouraged to bid for a share of a £220m Government fund which aims to support pilot projects to boost the economy.
The community renewal fund aims to support local organisations coming up with solutions to local issues and challenges.
The Government's identified a number of key priority areas for the funding, including: King's Lynn and West Norfolk, Great Yarmouth, North Norfolk and Norwich.
Bids can be submitted by organisations including universities, councils, voluntary and community sector bodies.
Councillor Graham Plant, the county council's deputy leader and cabinet member for growing the economy, said: "This is an exciting opportunity for Norfolk to develop new schemes, which can be delivered by the end of March next year.
"It's about finding new ways to tackle the challenges Norfolk faces, as we recover from the pandemic - from new approaches to skills and training, to cutting edge responses to climate change.
"The Government wants to establish new ways of working with local areas and wants to give communities a stronger voice in their future."
With the exception of skills and employment projects, bids should link to the Government's clean growth and net zero agenda, contributing to a reduction in greenhouse gases.
All projects must be delivered fully and funding spent before the end of March 2022.
