New Grant Available For Shropshire Tourism Businesses
A new 'Shropshire Sustainable Tourism Business Grant' scheme has been launched to help Shropshire tourism businesses continue to attract visitors to the area.
The scheme, funded through Advantage West Midlands and administered by Shropshire Council, is hoped to improve the long term sustainability of the tourism industry in the county by improving the performance of tourism businesses and raising the quality of facilities.
As part of this, tourism businesses that have been trading for more than a year, are within the eligible Rural Regeneration Zone (RRZ) area and/or employ fewer than 250 staff will be able to apply for capital grants of up to £10,000 and revenue grants of up to £2,000.
John Hurst Knight, Shropshire Council's Cabinet member for economy, said: "This grant scheme offers a great opportunity for tourism businesses to keep the county on the map. This is especially important during the current economic difficulties and we hope that businesses will make the most of the funding available to them."
For more information, businesses can contact their local Project Officer who will be able to advise if the business and proposal are eligible for the grant scheme.
Businesses in South Shropshire, Bridgnorth or eligible wards in Shrewsbury and Atcham Borough should call Tim King on 01584 813210 or email tim.king@southshropshire.gov.uk
Businesses in Oswestry Borough, or eligible wards of North Shropshire District should call Peter Wilson on 01691 677293 or email peter.wilson@shropshire.gov.uk
