Sharing the Success
the Leeds LEGI Programme
Leeds was awarded £15.6m funding over three years from the government's £300m Local Enterprise Growth Initiative (LEGI) in November 2006. LEGI is a joint programme between the Department for Communities & Local Government, HM Treasury and the Department for Trade and Industry.
Branded ‘Sharing the Success,’ the Leeds LEGI programme will help to develop enterprise, create new jobs and boost the prosperity of the city’s most disadvantaged communities.
By 2010 the programme aims to create over 500 new businesses within areas of greatest disadvantage in Leeds; attract 75 new businesses into these areas and provide assistance to help a further 650 existing businesses to develop. The long term aim is to stimulate a culture of enterprise, attract investment and create over 1,100 jobs.
