The Carlisle projects set to be financed by the multi-million-pound Future High Streets Fund investment package have been chosen.
The projects that will be carried out using the funding include £4.7m of repurposing work on the site of the former Central Plaza Hotel on Victoria Viaduct, in order to allow for the site to be redeveloped.
Demolition of the former hotel was completed early last year, after the crumbling building was deemed unsafe.
It was confirmed on Boxing Day that Carlisle was set to receive £9.1m in Government investment, as part of its Future High Streets Fund scheme, which seeks to inject cash into projects across England that will help boost the economic development of town and city centres.
