Growth Programme Deadline Approaching

The deadline for Expressions of Interest under the Growth Programme is fast approaching, applications have to be in by midnight on 16th February 2020.

There are 3 types of grant:

• Business development

• Food processing

• Rural tourism infrastructure

To be eligible, the project will need to create jobs or bring more money into the rural economy.

There are quite a few restrictions to the grants, and the government seem to have very different ideas about what should be eligible!! However, if you have a project on the horizon, particularly one which relates to Farm Diversification, give me a call and we will see if we can work it in to one of these schemes. Likewise if you would like a more general discussion about diversification options and the ways we can make the grant funding fit, then please get in touch.
