About the Mid Wales Growth Deal
The Mid Wales Growth Deal set within the broader vision for Growing Mid Wales, is a long-term investment with a combined commitment of £110m from UK and Welsh Government, providing capital funding to support regionally significant economic infrastructure.
It plays a key role in catalysing economic recovery and growth in the Mid Wales economy, with the aim of supporting job creation and increasing productivity and wider societal and environmental ambitions.
In January 2022, the Final Deal Agreement of the Mid Wales Growth Deal was signed by the Welsh Government, UK Government and the region's local authorities, Ceredigion County Council and Powys County Council.
The signing of the agreement means that the delivery framework of the Growth Deal is now in place to allow programme and project business cases to come forward.
