Answer
Question 12 – AQO 1388/22-27
I want to see delivery of the City and Growth Deals accelerated and I have tasked officials to support Councils through co-design and partnership to deliver Projects at pace.
My Department has approved £344m of funding across 13 projects within the Belfast Deal.
When combined with partner contributions, the total investment approved to date is close to £0.5 billion.
These projects will make a significant contribution to the key priorities I have set out in my economic vision; creating good jobs, increasing productivity, regional balance and reducing carbon emissions.
