Calling all entrepreneurs! New Kildare scheme opened to help new businesses grow
This new grant scheme aims to encourage the reoccupation of vacant Kildare properties
Applications are now open for Kildare County Council’s Commercial Rates Incentive Grant Scheme from Tuesday March 4 2025.
The scheme aims to encourage the reoccupation of vacant commercial premises in Kildare.
It offers a three year grant to eligible entrepreneurs/businesses who occupy a property that has been vacant for a period of at least two years.
An attractive, vibrant commercial area contributes positively to a location’s retail and economic growth, by boosting footfall and encouraging a longer stay by shoppers and visitors, Kildare County Council said.
This scheme, according to Kildare County Council, which will complement the highly successful Shop Front Grants Scheme already available, aims to promote business creation, enhance the prosperity of our commercial spaces and improve the economic welfare of Kildare’s towns and villages.
