Millom Town Deal secured £20.6 million in November 2022 with an additional £8.7 million in match funding to help the town and its communities to thrive in the future.
Working with Cumberland Council, the external funding will be used to deliver the four projects.
Upcoming drop in events are also planned for Tuesday 15 October and Wednesday 23 October, venues and times to be confirmed.
