The projects in the Public Realm investment cluster supported
the conservation of the environment of Cornwall and the Isles
of Scilly where it contributes to economic regeneration, particularly
the economic vitality and viability of our towns and villages.
The historic environment and cultural heritage of Cornwall
and the Isles of Scilly are fundamental building blocks in
the strong sense of regional distinctiveness and identity
felt in the area, which in turn is a major contributor to
the product of Cornwall. This distinctiveness is a key strength
and developing the ability to secure economic benefits from
the heritage is a key plank in achieving a sustainable and
successful economy.
