Liverpool Airport to benefit from EU grant
17.02.08
Plans for the expansion of Liverpool Airport are among projects set to benefit from £200m of European Union money awarded to Liverpool to launch a new Northwest European Regional Development Fund.
The fund will bring more than £1bn of investment to the region by 2013, which could generate more than 26,000 jobs. Up to £521m will go to the North West as a whole, of which £212m has been ring fenced for Merseyside. Some £20m of this is to be used improving the gateways to the area, which was said yesterday to include the airport.
The programme is being managed by the Northwest Regional Development Agency. Agency chief executive Steve Broomhead said improving access to Liverpool Airport was something that they would consider.
