Jo Platt, Labour MP for Leigh, expressed her joy over the confirmation of funding, stating she was "ecstatic" that the "much-needed investment" would still go ahead.
Before the Budget, Platt had voiced uncertainty about whether the promised funds were secure, highlighting the long wait and repeated bids for the cash.
The funding, pledged under the Conservatives' levelling up strategy, will support projects in various towns, with each receiving up to 20 million.
Multiple projects in Greater Manchester will benefit from a 100 million cash injection, crucial for regeneration and development in towns such as Bolton and Wythenshawe.
