The final submission of Tees Valley Unlimited’s Strategic
Economic Plan to Government is due on the 31st March 2014. As part of the
Government’s Growth Deals, LEPs can seek a share of the new £2bn Local Growth
Fund to spend on the delivery of their Strategic Economic Plan. Therefore, a key
part of the Plan is the ‘Ask’ from Local Growth Funding to enable TVU to target
its identified growth priorities and focus its resources on areas that create
jobs and growth.
The submission of TVU’s Economic Plan in March will include
the final bid to Government for 2015/16 Local Growth Funding (plus 2016/17 for
Skills Capital projects). The fund is focused predominantly on capital projects,
and on Friday 17th January TVU
issued a call for projects seeking Local Growth Funding.
The call will close on
Thursday 13th February. To find out more about the TVU Local Growth Fund and how to apply go
