Mayors are set to be elected in 2025, with control over housing, job creation and public transport.
Devolution deals for Hull and East Yorkshire and for Lincolnshire have been agreed by the government.
The government said it was also "minded" to progress with four other non-mayoral deals, but would resume talks with two more councils which had reached agreements with the previous Conservative government. "This agreement will ensure local people will have a seat at the table as we drive forward our plans to deliver economic growth, and unleash the potential of towns and cities which have been neglected for far too long," she said.The Lincolnshire devolution plan includes the areas covered by North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire councils, as well as that covered by Lincolnshire County Council.
Philip Jackson, the Conservative leader of North East Lincolnshire Council, said the government was clear that an elected mayor was required to unlock additional powers and funding.
