Kildare County Council announces 2023 Commercial Incentive Grant Scheme

Kildare County Council has today opened applications for the Commercial Incentive Grant Scheme for 2023.

The scheme, which aims to encourage reoccupation of vacant commercial premises in Kildare, 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. 

This scheme, which will complement the highly successful Shop Fronts Grants Scheme already available through Kildare, aims to promote business creation, enhance the prosperity of our commercial spaces and improve the economic welfare of Kildare’s towns and villages.

Further details and the on-line application form can be accessed through Kildare County Council’s website on https://kildare.ie/countycouncil/YourCouncil/Finance/CommercialRates/.
