The Vibrant and Sustainable High Streets Fund opened its second phase for applicants this June, following 42 applications for Phase One across York and North Yorkshire.
Designed to rejuvenate and reanimate high streets in and around the local area, this valuable fund aims to boost the resilience of high streets and town centres, increasing the number of events and attractions, reducing the number of empty units, and boosting footfall of both residents and visiting shoppers. As well as providing a valuable boost for local businesses, the Fund aims to combat decline, provide a solution to the emerging challenges faced by high streets, and promote meaningful community cohesion.
Successful Phase One applicants from the local area included Data Intelligence Hub (via York BID/Harrogate BID) and Walmgate Re-framed: New expressions of High Street and Community for the City of York (via University of York).
