The Yorkshire Coast could potentially host Olympic sailing events as part of a new Northern bid supported by government funding.
Olympic sailing events and a major economic boost for enterprises could soon become a reality for the Yorkshire Coast.
Discussions surrounding government funding have revealed ambitious plans that may bring international sporting events to the region's waters. The potential developments were outlined during a meeting earlier this week, where regional leaders explored new financial opportunities for the area.
Alongside the high-profile sporting ambitions, targeted economic assistance is also on the horizon. Specific business support has been suggested to assist five hundred mid-sized businesses across the North, aiming to strengthen the regional economy.
The Mayor of York and North Yorkshire, David Skaith, detailed the financial backing during the meeting, highlighting a multi-million-pound feasibility fund dedicated to exploring a potential regional Olympic bid.
David Skaith said:
"To support mayors to grow their organisations and to make them fit for the future, access to a £1.5 billion fund for mayoral priorities. £7 million to support feasibility work for the Olympic bid, alongside mayors across the north which could see us hosting, sailing on the coast outside of this room, for example."
