Infrastructure Funding Opportunity

Release Date: 18 July 2012

Initial expressions of interest are invited for funding from the exciting new Gloucestershire Infrastructure Investment Fund, which is about to be launched.

This fund is designed to stimulate local economic growth by enabling targeted investment in key pieces of infrastructure to unlock constrained and stalled development sites. It derives from the £8.4m secured by the Gloucestershire Local Enterprise Partnership and Gloucestershire County Council, under the Government's Growing Places initiative. Capital funding is in the form of an interest free loan.

This provides Gloucestershire with an opportunity to kickstart growth and encourages new job creation and investment. Expressions of interest are welcomed from both the public and private sectors.

Further details on the Fund, including guidance notes, EOI form and FAQs, are available at:
