Wrexham: More than £7m handed out in latest round of grants
The money was handed out this month in the latest round of Shared Prosperity Fund (SPF) Stakeholder Group grants.
The grants, ranging from £50,000 to £700,000, were open to businesses, organisations and communities to help them grow and become more successful.
Those wishing to apply had to fit into one of three investment priorities: community and place, supporting local businesses, or people and skills.
Each of these priorities had specific themes that applicants had to show how they would address with their project.
As well as the grants for the 24 projects, five key funds were also given money to help smaller projects access funding.
These smaller grants, of less than £50,000, can be applied for through a simpler application process.
Councillor Mark Pritchard, leader of Wrexham Council, said: "We are really pleased to announce that the companies below have been awarded SPF Grants.
"There are a number of criteria to meet to be successful and we look forward to seeing their projects come to fruition.
"The smaller grants, applied for through the five key funds listed below, will mean local businesses, organisations and communities seeking smaller amounts of support will be able to take advantage of this scheme too, and I urge them to apply."
