The UK government has pledged £210 million in funding aimed at regenerating high streets across the country, according to the BBC.
Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham said the fund would support communities in transforming derelict buildings and help keep local businesses open, according to the report.
The initiative is intended to address long-standing concerns about the decline of traditional high streets in towns and cities across the UK, where empty storefronts and reduced footfall have affected local economies in recent years.
Further details on how the funding will be distributed across different regions and communities were not immediately available, though the announcement signals continued government attention to high street regeneration as a policy priority.
