Will my council tax rise?

Big regeneration projects like this one are usually funded through a mix of central government grants, private investment, and sometimes local authority borrowing. While the aim is to boost the local economy and create more taxpayers, it's unlikely your council tax will directly increase solely because of this specific investment. Any rises are usually decided annually based on overall council budgets.
