Mansfield District Council has unveiled its £25.75m to transform the town's former Beales department stores building into a new multi-agency civic club. On Thursday, July 21, The Mansfield Connect Scheme was presented to strategic, community and business leaders on the Mansfield Place Board.
This project forms a key part of the council's plan to regenerate the town centre and its £20m bid to the Government's Levelling Up Fund. Mansfield has been ranked at level one out of three, putting it amongst the areas with the greatest need for economic recovery, regeneration and growth, and improved transport and connectivity.
The landmark 1930s building is set to be modernised and extended so that a new headquarters for the council can be created, as well as space to house various other public, educational, enterprise, health and wellbeing services. There will also be spaces for private sector investment.
