DCC hosting public meetings to promote grants for vacant property refurbishments

Donegal County Council is holding a series of events next week to provide information on the supports available to refurbish vacant and derelict properties, with

12 events taking place across Donegal, starting this coming Monday, and continuing for three weeks.

Under the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant Scheme, grants of up to €84,000 are available to refurbish vacant and derelict properties that have been vacant for two years or more, provided they will either be the owner’s principle private residence, or be made available to rent.

Under the Repair and Lease Scheme, support of €80,000 per unit is available to bring vacant properties back into use which will then be leased to Donegal County Council for social housing in areas where there is a need.Expressions of interest can also be made in respect of vacant traditional farmhouses to help fund the cost of having a conservation expert provide advice on the refurbishment of farmhouses that are availing of the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant Scheme. .

The first of the 12 public information events takes place on Monday night in Milford, with subsequent meetings Raphoe, the Twin Towns, Annagry, Ramelton, Letterkenny, Convoy, Newtowncunningham, Moville, Ballyshannon, and Ardara, before the final event in Gweedore on March 14th.
