Shopfront improvement grants available
 |
| Before and after at Murphy Design Kilcullen. |
Applications are open for the Shop Front Improvement, Accessibility and Age Friendly Grant Scheme established by Kildare County Council to help independent business owners to improve the appearance of their shop fronts or commercial properties.
Up to €5,000 or 50pc of the costs is available under the scheme, which will close on 31 May 2022 or when the fund is exhausted, whichever comes first.
Particular emphasis should be on works to enhance accessibility or to add age-friendly elements to the premises.
This funding is being provided in recognition of the fact that a building’s facade makes a big impact on our town centres. They help form people’s first impressions of a town centre, so their condition can really affect a town’s image.
Simple jobs like repainting a shop front or seasonal window dressing may qualify.
Applications that include an accessibility or age-friendly element can avail of an increased grant up to 75pc of eligible costs.
