Description:

Developing the funding strategy will be critical to allowing funding to be sourced from a variety of parties. The purpose of this support is to help Towns to understand the factors that impact on the ability to raise finance, the cost of finance and characteristics that may sit with the funding to be realised.

This event will comprise a short presentation, followed by a question and answer session to allow town members to share current issues and thoughts. The presentation will link into work around vision and strategy, Business Case development and Project prioritisation and feasibility.
