A Fit For The Future Investment Fund
We propose to create a Fit For The Future Investment Fund.
It will draw earmarked resources from half of the Scotland Act borrowing powers, more than £200 million, as well as from action to reduce the Scottish Government’s annual underspend.
We will use the fund to support three priorities:
- The National Infrastructure Project to create more warm homes – giving grants and loans to households and businesses to cut their energy bills;
- More rapid expansion of super-fast broadband and modern mobile phone coverage into remote areas by trebling the community broadband fund;
- Increase the amount of affordable housing being constructed in Scotland.
