Stevenage Development Board – find out more
The Stevenage Development Board was set up in March 2020 to formulate a bid for the national Government’s Town Fund initiative.
Stevenage was one of 101 towns in England invited to bid and was successfully awarded £37.5m in March 2021 following the submission of the Stevenage Town Investment Plan, set out and ratified by the Stevenage Development Board.
The Stevenage Development Board is chaired by businessperson Adrian Hawkins OBE, the Independent Chair. The Board brings together voluntary key stakeholders from public sector organisations, private businesses, not-for-profit organisations and heritage organisations, to ensure a diverse range of views are represented. Thanks to the effort of all of those involved, Stevenage secured the second joint highest bid in the country, working in collaboration on a Town Investment Plan with a clear vision, strategy and delivery proposals, that support local residents and businesses.
You can find out more about the Board by visiting the Stevenage Development Board page on the Stevenage Even Better website.
The independent Stevenage Development Board continues to provide strategic oversight for the Towns Fund projects, with all its members working together for the town. The allocation awarded to Stevenage is being put towards nine projects, and a full list of these can be found on the Stevenage Even Better Town Investment Plan web page.
