The money – a combination of Government cash and council funding – will kick-start nine projects aimed at improving the local economy and environment for residents and businesses alike.
Among the ambitious plans are improvements to Dewsbury Market, the creation of a new town park and the regeneration of the 1880s Grade II-listed Dewsbury Arcade.
There will also be investment in jobs and skills for local people.
