Small businesses and start- ups in parts of Manningham, Great Horton and City wards could benefit from a proposed new Community Led Local Development (CLLD) regeneration programme starting in 2017.
CLLD is a new initiative under the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) programme for 2017 to 2022. Up to £6 million could be secured to provide support for new and existing businesses to grow their ventures and help local people who are unemployed to find jobs and develop new skills.
Carlisle Business Centre is leading the bid to secure the funds.
Sam Keighley, CEO at Carlisle Business Centre said:
It would be fantastic to secure support for people to realise their dreams, be that starting up or growing an existing business or gaining new skills to find employment. There’s lots of work to be done over the next few months to make the case for securing the money and we hope local people, businesses and other organisations will join with us to do this’
