Question:
To ask the Minister for the Economy for an update of her assessment of the Growth Deal for the Causeway Coast and Glens region.

Answer:

I very much welcome the progress being made in regards to the Causeway Coast and Glens Growth Deal. The planned investment by the UK Government and the Executive of over £70m presents a tremendous platform for the Council and its partners to drive sustained and inclusive growth across the Council area. My Department is meeting regularly with Council officials and I am advised that the Council is currently assessing and prioritising potential projects for proposed inclusion in the Deal. I look forward to receiving those proposals.
