Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council has launched a new Internal Improvements Scheme, making a £150,000 grant pot available to help local businesses and commercial property owners to make internal improvements to their buildings.
The scheme is designed to support town and village centre regeneration, helping create more attractive and vibrant places to live, work and visit. Grants up to £7,500 will be available to eligible businesses and commercial property owners to support these internal improvements to include repairs and upgrades to help future proof their business. The grant can cover up to 50% of eligible items and works, with a minimum grant of £2000 and a maximum of £7,500.
This grant is for eligible commercial businesses in towns and villages across our borough, including: Armagh, Banbridge, Craigavon, Dromore, Lurgan, Portadown, Aghagallon, Bleary, Dollingstown, Donaghcloney, Gilford, Keady, Laurelvale/Mullavilly, Magheralin, Markethill, Rathfriland, Richhill, Tandragee, Waringstown, Drumnacanvy, Hamiltonsbawn, Kinallen, Poyntzpass, Blackwatertown, Loughgall, Derrymacash, Loughbrickland (and any other property with a streetscape within the ABC Borough). Eligible commercial businesses located outside town centre boundaries, but which front onto a streetscape, will also be eligible for the programme, subject to available budget following the review of initial town centre applications.
Successful applications will be assessed on a first come first serve basis. Only applications which meet the eligibility criteria and provide sufficient quotes, and information will be offered the Grant.
