Some 拢570 million will be set aside for 50 Derbyshire regeneration schemes which will help tee up hundreds of new homes, town bypasses, employment land and improvements to cultural landmarks.
Derbyshire County Council is supporting the funding over the next few years for a string of major schemes 鈥 some of which are already underway.
It said they will help create new housing and job opportunities across the East Midlands county, with money coming from the council, government pots and local private and public sector partners.
Cabinet member for infrastructure Coun Carolyn Renwick said: 鈥淭his regeneration programme demonstrates good growth in Derbyshire with major regeneration projects across the county to support job creation and keep Derbyshire moving.
鈥淭hese projects follow the successful completion of a 拢13 million county council-led scheme to build a new road linking Woodville and Swadlincote, cutting congestion and unlocking employment land.
鈥淲e鈥檙e proud to be a driving force for regeneration and levelling up in Derbyshire and welcome much-needed investment from Government to improve our county鈥檚 economic prospects.鈥
Funding for projects that are already underway include 拢6 million for the Ashbourne airfield expansion, opening up land for employment and housing and adding a new roundabout on the A52.
Almost 拢11 million is being lined up for a new road into Chesterfield Station, with a planning application now in, while 拢2.4 million will be put into a new roundabout and access to a housing development in the Fairfield/Hogshaw area of Buxton, along with a new a section of the White Peak Loop cycle trail.
The council is backing plans for 拢125 million to go into reclamation works and construction of a 3.7-mile road connecting Chesterfield with Staveley, opening up land for jobs and housing, while 拢55 million would be put into roads to support the South Derby Growth Zone, making way for commercial development and housing at the Infinity Garden Village. An outline business case for funding is due to be submitted to Government later this year.
Some 拢35 million could be out into Elvaston Castle; 拢20 million-plus in the Ashbourne Relief Road; around 拢50 million to improve access to Shirebrook; and a similar figure to find a solution to the problem of a major road crossing the Scheduled Ancient Monument at Swarkestone Causeway, across the River Trent.
The Staveley Town Deal Investment Plan could get 拢25 million, as could the Long Eaton Town Deal Investment Plan, while Chesterfield Borough Council is leading a 拢20 million project to improve the town centre.
Derbyshire County Council is also supporting a bid for 拢25 million to build on work already done to establish the 海角视频鈥檚 only inland freeport at East Midlands Airport.
