Convergence/Strategic Investment Framework

The purpose of the Strategic Investment Framework (SIF) is to provide a context for investment of up to £10m of Convergence funds which will 'realise the economic potential of place' in Falmouth and Penryn.

The SIF working group of the Town Forum (whcih has been mandated by the Town Councils) is Tim Light (chair), John Langan, David Pollard and Jonathan Griffin.

The initial research work is being done by Georgina McLaren of the Cornwall Development Company (CDC) on behalf of SWRDA and Cornwall Council. Once completed and agreed, the SIF will be handed over to Jackie George (also CDC) for delivery.

A draft of Georgina's proposals were given to the group at the end of September. They are sending comments back to her before the document is finalised and presented to the Town Councils.
