Scarborough Borough Council is to spend £2.6m developing business cases for projects set to benefit from cash from the town fund.
£37m of Government funding has been made available for Projects in Scarborough and Whitby but it's dependent on strong business cases being drawn up for each of the individual projects covered by the scheme.
Borough council Director Nick Edwards told cabinet members why the money is needed.
Scarborough and Whitby will receive £37.3m between them to spend on the projects if they are given the go ahead. The council has until March 2022 to submit business cases for the individual regeneration projects to be included in the scheme.
Council Chief Exec Michael Greene says other areas of the borough will also benefit from measures outlined in the borough's capital strategy plan.
The £2.6m for feasibility studies will be spent on the following projects.
SCARBOROUGH
WHITBY
If the individual projects are approved they will then receive funding from the town deal funds which will cover the costs of the initial feasibility studies. So if all the projects are accepted then the council will recover the £2.6m outlay.

- £2.6mTowns Deal feasibility works
