IT'S well done to Lancaster City Council for securing £50-million funding from Whitehall towards its Eden Project Morecambe.
Not only will its tropical plants create an exotic experience, but the venture will create hundreds of jobs.
Says the promotional material: "Eden Project Morecambe will focus on re-imagining health and wellbeing, wonder and entertainment.
"It will be an environment filled with plants and art exhibits, showcasing natural abundance and the rhythms of life linked to the sun.
"There will also be an immersive series of theatrical experiences that bring to life lunar rhythms and tides.
"Within every space, visitors will be encouraged to be curious about the natural world.
"Art, science, adventure, play and performance will all play a role."
It will provide a reminder of Morecambe’s motto during its tourism heyday: "Beauty Surrounds and Health Abounds."
Total cost of the project is estimated at £100-million, and the council had bid for £70-million.
However, with such superb support from Whitehall, raising a further £50-million should not prove too much of a challenge.
