However, a subcommittee of the Lincoln Town Deal Board, including city MP Karl McCartney, Bishop Grosseteste chancellor Peter Neil, tech entrepreneur Leo Scott Smith and independent chairman Ivan Annibal, has decided on a final list in order of priority to go before members next Friday.
Each member scored the projects individually and an average mark was created.
Further updates have also seen the final funding applications brought down to a total of £24.75 million — within the town deal bid maximum. The estimated cost of the projects in full totals £45.25 million.
A report before councillors said: “Whilst there is some variation in the individual project scores, there is consistency in those schemes towards the bottom of the table, which is critical in terms of reaching agreement on the overall portfolio.
“With further savings derived across the programme, it is now possible to include all schemes but with a reduced allocation in respect of the Hive by virtue of its position as a result of this exercise.”
