Transformational Investment Projects Underway in Angus

Angus is entering a dynamic new era of opportunity, driven by major investment through the Tay Cities Region Deal.

With £26.5 million allocated to the Angus Fund, alongside significant private‑sector leverage, these projects are accelerating sustainable growth, boosting innovation, and strengthening Angus’ position as a prime location to live, work and invest.

The Scottish and UK Governments will each invest up to £150m in the Deal over the 10 years of the deal, up to 2030, subject to final approval of strong business cases.

This investment has the potential to attract an additional £400m in investment and create up to 6,000 job opportunities across the tourism, food and drink, creative industries, eco innovation, digital, decommissioning, engineering, biomedical and health care sectors.

The Angus Fund

The Tay Cities Region Deal Heads of Terms identified a £26.5 million Angus Fund capital investment fund from UK Government for projects in Angus.

The Angus Fund will be used to stimulate The Mercury Programme, which is Angus Council’s visionary partnership programme between government, public, private and community sectors. Projects to be funded are being developed collaboratively with Angus Council and other local partners and are subject to UK Government approval.

The Mercury Programme

The Mercury Programme is the overarching ambition driving the projects that will be stimulated by the Angus Fund. This programme is Angus Council’s visionary £1bn partnership between government, public, private and community sectors.

The three interlinking components of the Mercury Programme, clean growth, low carbon, and agri tech, have been used to focus the work being supported by the Angus Fund.
