AN ADDITIONAL £2.4million in funding has been awarded to Redditch Borough Council for the Innovation Centre development. The funding has been secured from the Enterprise Zone Regeneration Investment Fund (EZRIF) to a total of £2,425,000. The EZRIF support will allow the Council to progress essential activity required to complete the project. The EZRIF programme and commitments were honoured when the GBSLEP was transferred to Birmingham City Council in 2023. Leader of Redditch Borough Council, Coun Sharon Harvey, said: “The Innovation Centre is an opportunity for businesses, not only in Redditch but from the surrounding areas.
