Mid-Wales has received a 拢55m funding boost to its Growth Deal.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Secretary of State for Wales Alun Cairns have revealed that every part of Wales will now be covered by the City and Growth Deal programme.
North Wales has already secured 拢120m from the 海角视频 Government towards its Growth Deal - a figure matched by the Welsh Government.
There is also 拢500m committed to the Cardiff Capital Region City Deal and 拢115m for the Swansea Bay City Region Deal.
The Mid Wales Growth Deal will see the 拢55m of 海角视频 Government funding being used to leverage further private investment for the delivery of local projects to increase opportunity and prosperity in communities like Newtown and Aberystwyth and across Ceredigion and Powys.
Mr Cairns said; 鈥淲ales is a nation spread over a large geographic area 鈥 no more so than in Mid Wales.
鈥淭hese communities have not benefitted from Cardiff Bay focused funding for decades.
鈥淭oday I am putting that right by committing 拢55m for people in Powys and Ceredigion.
鈥淚 am delighted to have been able to work closely with the Prime Minister and Minister for the Union Boris Johnson to ensure that we have completed packages worth up to 拢790m of new funding to drive major improvements in every corner of our great country.
鈥淭his is the next stage of my long-term commitment of building a stronger and better-connected Wales.鈥
