City of Lincoln Council accepted the government’s £19 million grant announced in the Chancellor’s Budget last week.
The money will go towards funding 14 projects across the city including the Drill Hall, Lincoln City FC and the Sincil Bank Green Corridor.
However, some disappointment was expressed in the Lincoln Town Deal Board on Friday as Lincoln originally asked for £24 million to fund the projects, but received five million less.
Originally, a programme of schemes to support delivery of a carbon neutral target by 2030, including a construction retrofit project and “green recovery grant” were in the projects, but these have since been removed with the addition of a Greyfriars project.
