More than 600 new jobs could be created in the Leeds City Region through work to deliver the Government's Green Deal across 11 local authorities, including Bradford.
Under the initiative work will go ahead to enable more than 12,000 homes to make energy saving home improvements reducing bills and carbon emissions.
The £100 million Leeds City Region scheme could create jobs over three years and support up to 24,000 direct and supply chain jobs over the next 25 years.
Coun Mehboob Khan, Leeds City Region lead on the Green Deal, said: “Our scheme will be the largest in the country and our residents will be able to get a much better deal.”
The Leeds City Region Partnership in association with Construction and Housing Yorkshire will be running an event on the Monday, April 29, for construction, heating, insulation companies and sole traders to learn about the scheme. For details visit leedscityregion.gov.uk.
