An investment plan has been piloted in Goldthorpe, which will see a £23.1m invested in areas including Goldthorpe, Thurnscoe and Bolton upon Dearne.
It is hoped that Cudworth, Hoyland, Penistone, Royston and Wombwell will also benefit from similar investments.
If Barnsley Council’s cabinet agree to the concept of the plan, detailed cases will be drawn up for further approval.
