Crawley Town Deal Board
The Town Deal Board has evolved from the Crawley Economic Recovery Task Force (CERT) which was originally established in 2020 in response to the economic crisis brought about by Covid-19.
The Town Deal Board comprises representatives of local businesses, community and public organisations and is responsible for overseeing the development and delivery of the Crawley Towns Fund Programme; a £ 21.1 million package of transformative regeneration schemes designed to unlock jobs and boost economic activity in the town.
