Herefordshire Council has developed an investment plan which seeks to secure £7.6m funding for the county to grow local business and the economy.
Its aim is to help address geographical disparities in economic performance and circumstances.
The council’s investment plan outlines how the funding would be used in the county to support new business and growth, create opportunities in the cultural and creative economies in the county, to access new green economy opportunities, improve energy efficiencies, and develop workforce skills. £903,194 of the funding will be used for ‘Multiply’ adult numeracy support.
