The North East Investment Fund exists to support projects that help maintain or improve an asset, often called infrastructure. A project could be a new construction, expansion, renovation, or replacement for an existing facility or facilities. The projects – known as capital projects – must prove how the investment provides an improvement, new feature or benefit, for example: expanding capacity, reducing costs or producing new components.
