Griffith is set to benefit from a $3 million investment from the Albanese and Minns Governments to beautify the CBD and improve local tourism sites.
The funding is part of the NSW Sustainable Communities Program, which is aimed at creating new jobs, supporting business innovation and strengthening tourism across the Southern Basin.
Griffith City Council's project will be considered by the Roads Parks and Pathways Enhancement Committee, which will make recommendations to Council to finalise the scope of works.
The process will also include opportunities for the community to contribute ideas through workshops, walkshops and other engagement activities.
Griffith Mayor, Councillor Doug Curran welcomed today's funding announcement.
"This investment provides us with an exciting opportunity to further enhance our city centre and tourism attractions," Councillor Curran said.
"It's important that our community has a voice in shaping this project. Through workshops and other activities, we'll be inviting people to share their ideas so the end result reflects what matters most to Griffith."
The NSW Government's Sustainable Communities Program is designed to help minimise the social and economic impacts of water recovery measures on Basin communities under the Murray-Darling Basin Plan.
This $3 million allocation to Griffith comes from the Program's Early Investment Round, the first round of funding targeted to nine Southern Basin local government areas identified as most vulnerable to water recovery measures.
Council will continue to work with the community to ensure the project delivers the best possible outcomes for residents and visitors.
