This scheme supports regeneration that will have economic benefit to the small settlements in the area
Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council’s Small Settlement Business Support Grant Scheme is aimed at supporting regeneration that will have economic benefit to small local settlements such as creating employment, business expansion and retention of commercial properties.
The scheme is open to owners, leaseholders or tenants of eligible properties which are situated within the village boundaries of one of the following small settlements Aghagallon, Bleary, Dollingstown, Donaghcloney, Drumnacanvy, Gilford, Hamiltonsbawn, Keady, Kinallen, Laurelvale/Mullavilly, Magheralin, Markethill, Rathfriland, Richhill, Tandragee and Waringstown.
Within the scheme, there are two grants available
- Small Settlement Facade grant which provides grants of up to 80% of costs with a maximum grant of £3,000 and is for the improvement of the outside facade of commercial properties.
- Small Settlement Reconfiguring Space grant, which provides grants of up to 80% of costs, limited to a maximum of £20,000, which is for changing the use of space.
Both grants will need to complete by Monday 30 June 2025.
The deadline for applications for both grants is midday on Friday 17 January 2025.
The scheme is funded by the Department for Communities (DfC) and the Department of Agriculture Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) as a project under the Covid Recovery Small Settlements Regeneration Programme.
