Councils are able to spend this additional funding from the Local Authority Business Growth Incentives scheme (LABGI) as they see fit according to local priorities. It follows a consultation on provisional allocations announced in April.
The good progress that councils have made in encouraging new business growth means we have been able to confirm payments for the third year of this special three year scheme.
