East Lindsey Investment Fund
Closing Date: –
An investment fund for businesses and non-profit organisations in East Lindsey, supporting community-devised and led projects to improve the district’s economy and attractiveness.
The East Lindsey Investment Fund aims to make the district more welcoming, through initiatives that help improve cleanliness and safety, promote tidy and attractive shop fronts, and enhance parks, gardens and public spaces.
The fund will prioritise investment in four distinct target areas:
- Community development.
- Promoting the visitor economy.
- Business support.
- Boosting the attractiveness of the area.
A key element of the programme is to attract more people to visit the Lincolnshire Wolds and coastal areas and spend money in local shops, pubs and restaurants, thereby supporting local businesses. To do this, the council would like to support more events and festivals, attracting more people to East Lindsey.
There is also investment prioritised for businesses, which could support the creation or expansion of employment sites, help them get the skilled support they need or encourage progress on green or environmental projects.
The council wants to engage with the business community more closely to enable the growth of the district’s existing economy and attract new organisations to the area, with a view to growing the number of jobs available to residents.
Community development is another aspect of the programme, which is committed to ensuring that local voluntary and community groups are supported through funding to address themes and initiatives that are important to residents.
