The £2m Economic Recovery Fund is back and now accepting more applications from local businesses and community leaders to help improve local high streets and encourage residents to spend their time there.
A £2 million economic recovery project aimed at local high streets is about to draw to a close. But an independent evaluation of the project has estimated it has returned multi-million pounds worth of social value back to local communities.
Business led community groups will deliver new event spaces, improved shopfronts and street art thanks to £2 million of investment into neighbourhoods by Sheffield City Council.
An innovative city. A green city. A brilliant place to live, work and invest. That is the message coming from Sheffield leaders as a delegation from the city heads to the UK’s Real Estate Investment and Infrastructure Forum (UKREIFF).
Sheffield residents who are not in work and not currently actively seeking employment are set to benefit from a £3m fund aimed at supporting them to join, or rejoin, the workforce.
Grants of up to £35,000 are available as part of the second round of funding to support local businesses and organisations in reviving empty shops and adding to the ongoing transformation work that is now well underway.
