Grant Money Available For Redundant Buildings

A grants programme to provide unused buildings with a new life for business purposes is seeking applicants in Lincolnshire. Community Lincs has run the redundant rural buildings grants scheme, on behalf of Lincolnshire Enterprise, since 2006. The contract to deliver this service has now been extended to 2012.

The grants scheme offers up to 25% of the full costs to owners of redundant or derelict buildings who convert them for business use. The maximum grant available is £50,000. Applications are welcome in respect of property located throughout Lincolnshire with the exception of Lincoln, Grantham and North and North East Lincolnshire.

Fiona White – Chief Executive at Community Lincs said "the RRBG programme attracts applications from all over Lincolnshire and from a wide variety of applicants for diverse end uses."

Will Bedford, Programme Manager at Lincolnshire County Council said "this initiative is designed to support both the economy and the environment and is a wonderful opportunity to bring back to life buildings that have been neglected and run down. This is an example of a credit crunch busting grant scheme in the current economic climate"
