The funding, which is subject to final terms and conditions being met, would be provided towards a long term programme of investment that currently includes major projects across Carmarthenshire, Neath Port Talbot, Swansea and Pembrokeshire.


The £18 million funding provides an opportunity to deliver against the whole of the city deal programme. A further £18 million may also potentially be available this year for other projects within the deal, subject to the region meeting clear terms and conditions.


Initial funding for the first of these schemes, which are all being led by the individual local authorities responsible, is based on the approval of business cases for the Yr Egin creative and digital cluster and Swansea City and Waterfront Digital District projects.


Economy Minister Ken Skates said:



> “I am determined to ensure that the Swansea City Deal delivers genuine economic growth and change for the communities of south\-west Wales, and I am delighted that Welsh Government will shortly be releasing funding to drive forward this ambitious programme.
> 
> 
> “The Swansea Bay City Deal will signal the start of a culture shift for the region, building confidence in the area, creating thousands of high quality jobs and providing a huge financial boost for many years to come.


The Swansea City and Waterfront Digital District project features a state\-of\-the\-art, 3,500\-capacity digital indoor arena. Benefitting from world class digital connectivity, the arena is expected to open in early 2021\. A digital plaza will also be constructed outside the arena, complete with digital artworks and other digital features.


Other aspects include a 28,000 square foot box village and 64,000 square foot innovation precinct for start\-up businesses at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David campus in SA1\. A 100,000 square foot digital village development will also be constructed on Kingsway, providing cutting\-edge working spaces for tech and digitally focussed companies.


Yr Egin is based in Carmarthen, at the town’s University of Wales of Trinity Saint David campus. A second phase of work is now planned, following on from a successful first phase that’s already home to S4C’s new headquarters and many other creative sector businesses.


Cllr Rob Stewart, Chairman of the Swansea Bay City Deal’s Joint Committee, said:



> “While the release of this funding is extremely welcome, councils and City Deal partners have continued to move forward with delivery of the two City Deal projects approved today. This demonstrates our ongoing commitment to the projects and the City Deal as a whole. 
> 
> 
> “The Swansea and Yr Egin projects will give people in South West Wales a world class entertainment venue, while providing our creative, tech and entrepreneurial business talent with the spaces and facilities they need to thrive. But it’s also our intention to soon bring forward the other City Deal projects to ensure more money is released as quickly as possible.
> 
> 
> “We hope both Governments will continue to work closely with us to facilitate the necessary approvals for the benefit of residents and businesses in Swansea, Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire and Neath Port Talbot.
> 
> 
> “The City Deal developments will also act as a catalyst for further investment and economic growth, opening up thousands of well\-paid jobs for local people.


The Swansea Bay City Deal is being led by Carmarthenshire Council, Swansea Council, Neath Port Talbot Council and Pembrokeshire Council, in partnership with the University of Wales Trinity Saint David, Swansea University, Swansea Bay University Health Board, and Hywel Dda University Health Board. The investment programme is being funded by the UK Government, the Welsh Government, the public sector and the private sector.


In the next 15 years, the Swansea Bay City Deal is projected to boost the regional economy by £1\.8 billion and create over 9,000 high\-quality jobs.

Byddai'r cyllid, sy'n ddibynnol ar fodloni telerau ac amodau terfynol, yn cyfrannu at raglen hirdymor o fuddsoddi sy'n cynnwys ar hyn o bryd brosiectau mawr  ledled Sir Gaerfyrddin, Castell\-nedd Port Talbot, Abertawe a Sir Benfro.


Mae'r £18 miliwn yn darparu cyfle i gyflawni yn erbyn holl raglen y Fargen Ddinesig. Hefyd mae'n bosibl y bydd £18 miliwn arall ar gael eleni ar gyfer prosiectau eraill o fewn y fargen, yn ddibynnol ar y rhanbarth yn bodloni telerau ac amodau clir.


Mae'r cyllid cychwynnol ar gyfer y cyntaf o'r tri chynllun hyn, sy'n cael eu harwain gan yr awdurdodau lleol sy'n gyfrifol,  yn seiliedig ar  gymeradwyaeth ar gyfer achosion busnes ar gyfer Canolfan Creadigol a Digidol yr Egin a phrosiectau Ardal Ddigidol Dinas Abertawe a’r Glannau.


Dywedodd Ken Skates, Ysgrifennydd yr Economi:



> "Dw i'n benderfynol o sicrhau y bydd Bargen Ddinesig Bae Abertawe yn arwain at dwf economaidd a newid gwirioneddol ar gyfer cymunedau de\-orllewin Cymru, a dw i wrth fy modd y bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn rhyddhau cyllid yn fuan i roi hwb i'r rhaglen uchelgeisiol hon.
> 
> 
> "Bydd Bargen Ddinesig Bae Abertawe yn nodi newid diwylliannol ar gyfer y rhanbarth, gan godi hyder yn yr ardal, creu miloedd o swyddi o ansawdd uchel a rhoi hwb ariannol enfawr am flynyddoedd lawer.


Mae prosiect Ardal Ddigidol Dinas Abertawe a'r Glannau yn cynnwys arena ddigidol fodern o dan do ac ynddi le ar gyfer 3,500 o bobl. Bydd yr arena yn elwa ar gysylltedd o'r radd flaenaf, a disgwylir iddi agor yn gynnar yn 2021\. Bydd plaza digidol yn cael ei adeiladu hefyd y tu allan i'r arena, a fydd y cynnwys gwaith celf ddigidol a nodweddion digidol eraill.


Mae agweddau eraill ar y prosiect yn cynnwys pentref 28,000 o droedfeddi sgwâr, ac ardal arloesi 64,000 o droedfeddi sgwâr ar gyfer busnesau newydd ar gampws Prifysgol Cymru y Drindod Dewi Sant yn SA1\. Bydd pentref digidol 100,000 o droedfeddi sgwâr hefyd yn cael ei adeiladu ar Kingsway, gan ddarparu mannau gweithio arloesol ar gyfer cwmnïau sy'n arbenigo mewn technoleg ddigidol.


Mae canolfan yr Egin yng Nghaerfyrddin, ar gampws Prifysgol Cymru y Drindod Dewi Sant. Mae ail gyfnod o waith bellach wedi'i gynllunio, yn dilyn llwyddiant y cyfnod cyntaf sydd eisoes wedi rhoi cartref i bencadlys newydd S4C a llawer o fusnesau eraill yn y sector creadigol.


Dywedodd y Cyng Rob Stewart, Cadeirydd Cydbwyllgor Bargen Ddinesig Bae Abertawe:



> “Er ein bod yn croesawu’n fawr yr arian sy’n cael ei ryddhau, mae cynghorau a phartneriaid y Fargen Ddinesig wedi bod yn ymroi i ddarparu’r ddau brosiect sy’n cael eu cymeradwyo heddiw.  Mae hyn yn dangos ein hymrwymiad i’r prosiectau ac i’r Fargen Ddinesig ei hun.
> 
> 
> “Bydd prosiectau Abertawe a’r Egin yn creu canolfan adloniant o’r radd flaenaf i bobl y De\-orllewin ac yn rhoi’r lleoedd a’r cyfleusterau sydd eu hangen ar dalentau creadigol, technegol ac entrepreneuraidd lleol i ffynnu. Mae’n fwriad gennym hefyd i roi prosiectau eraill y Fargen Ddinesig ar waith i sicrhau bod rhagor o arian yn cael ei ryddhau cyn gynted â phosibl.
> 
> 
> “Rydyn ni’n gobeithio y bydd y ddwy Lywodraeth yn cydweithio’n glos â ni i gymeradwyo’r prosiectau hyn er lles trigolion a busnesau Abertawe, Sir Gaerfyrddin, Sir Benfro a Chastell\-nedd Port Talbot.
> 
> 
> “Bydd datblygiadau’r Fargen Ddinesig yn gatalydd ar gyfer rhagor o fuddsoddi a thwf economaidd, gan sbarduno miloedd o swyddi breision i bobl leol.


Mae Bargen Ddinesig Bae Abertawe yn cael ei harwain gan Gyngor Sir Gâr, Cyngor Abertawe, Cyngor Castell Nedd Port Talbot a Chyngor Sir Penfro, mewn partneriaeth â Phrifysgol Cymru y Drindod Dewi Sant, Prifysgol Abertawe, Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Bae Abertawe a Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Hywel Dda. Mae’r rhaglen o fuddsoddiadau’n cael ei hariannu gan Lywodraeth y DU, Llywodraeth Cymru, a’r sector cyhoeddus a'r sector preifat.


Dros y 15 mlynedd nesaf disgwylir y bydd Bargen Ddinesig Bae Abertawe yn rhoi hwb gwerth £1\.8 biliwn i'r economi ranbarthol, a chreu dros 9,000 o swyddi o ansawdd uchel.
