A new grant building improvement scheme has been launched by Cork City Council.
The 2017 Building Facade Improvement Grant Schemes is aimed at improving the character and appearance of the South Douglas Street Area and Blackpool.
The funding incentive is to encourage residential and commercial property owners to paint and/or undertake repairs to their buildings. Over 100 buildings have benefitted from the scheme in the last two years.
Grants will be awarded for 50% of the costs of qualifying improvement works, up to the maximum value of €1,250 per building, or €2,500 per street corner building. Works may include painting, joinery and minor external repairs to plaster, render, gutters, downpipes.
The deadline for applications to the city council is Friday, 10 March.
