Highland Community Regeneration Programme to continue 2023/24

Today (Thursday 4 May 2023), Members of the Economy and Infrastructure Committee agreed to continue to build on the success of the 2022/23 Community Regeneration Programme for 2023/24.

Economy and Infrastructure Committee Chair, Cllr Ken Gowans said: “Following a successful first year the new Highland Community Regeneration Programme model has been well received, bringing a streamlined application, grant award and claim processes to project applicants and grant recipients.

“With Place Based Plans being prepared and rolled out this financial year, this will help our communities identify their local priorities and in turn this then will help ensure that community regeneration funds are targeted to help deliver those projects most needed locally.”

Once all funding is confirmed and fund arrangements made, the Council will separately be publicising the launch of the 2023/24 Highland Community Regeneration Fund.
