As Cabinet Member for Economic Development I agree to:
• to note the Growing Places Fund (GPF) bid submission to the South East Local Enterprise Partnership (SELEP) proposed by the Kent & Medway Economic Partnership,
• that Kent County Council act as the accountable body for projects within Kent County Council’s geographical boundaries that are selected by SELEP to receive GPF funding; and
• to delegate to the Section 151 Officer the authority to sign on Kent County Councils behalf a loan agreement or equivalent, where this is required to draw down funds following business case approval.
