Regeneration Capital Grant Fund (RCGF), support for Clyde Gateway as well as potential pathfinder demonstrator projects.
Estimated total investment: £325 million.

Further investment of £75 million is planned by 2025-26. In relation to RCGF, 48 projects across Scotland have received offers of grant for more than £50 million across 2021-22 and 2022-2023 and 23 projects have received offers of grant funding for 2023-24.
Additional funding was allocated to the 5-year programme to support a number of place-based demonstrator projects and meet increased costs of projects.
Contribution to economic development: Our regeneration programmes work together to support resilient and sustainable communities, through empowering people to take action, supporting communities to develop community assets, encouraging business and enterprise activity and delivering more services and activities locally. We are embedding Fair Work and Net zero ambitions in all our programmes contributing to core policy ambitions to eradicate child poverty and reducing inequality and disadvantage. Regeneration creates the conditions that support community wealth building, 20-minute neighbourhoods and a more fair and equal society where communities are at the heart of the decisions that affect them. The 48 RCGF projects recommended have the potential to support or create more than 4,000 jobs, create more than 44,000 sqm of business space and support over 90 community facilities which will benefit more than 850 businesses or enterprises across disadvantaged and fragile rural communities.
