The money, which has been added to the Local Growth Fund and will be managed by the Local Enterprise Partnership, is to used on investments over the next six years.
Funding will be given to expand Malvern Hills Science Park, to increase the rollout of superfast broadband and for projects to help keep traffic flowing around the county during times of floods.
Cash will also be put towards building new college facilities to create extra courses with a focus on engineering – it is hoped 600 new apprenticeships will be created.

“This Worcestershire Growth Deal is great news for local businesses and shows the Government is investing in its long-term economic plan,” she added.
