The search continues to fund a new desert biome
|
Cornwall's Eden Project is to receive a further £20m cash injection.
The money will go towards the construction of its education centre and will also pay for improvements for visitors and staff.
Despite a fall in last year's visitor numbers, the 1.4m people it attracted far exceeded the 700,000 first envisaged.
The Regional Development Agency will contribute £7m, with a further £13m from the county's Objective One fund.
This new money will take Eden's value to more than £100m.
Eden, which is among the top five tourist attractions in the UK, will not be using this pot of money for its long-awaited third biome.
The search for funding the new desert biome, which will resemble the Arizona desert, is continuing.
