Grants to fund shop front improvements in Harrogate
Businesses around Harrogate town centre could get money towards a spruce-up thanks to money from Harrogate Business Improvement District.
The organisation is offering match-funded grants of up to £750 for members looking to upgrade their frontages, as it aims to make the town centre welcoming and attractive.
Businesses could use the money to update paintwork and signage, or to improve their accessibility, as part of the 2023 scheme.
Harrogate BID manager Matthew Chapman said:
Last year, jewellery business Fattorinis received £750 towards the refurbishment of its Victorian canopy on Parliament Street, with the addition of a new facia board and signage.
The changes helped to raise the profile of the business after it changed hands last year. Others to benefit from the grant scheme included The Den, Cold Bath Brewing, Drum and Monkey, and the Coach and Horses.
Any business interested in applying for a grant should submit a request to Harrogate BID with a description of the work to be carried out or the equipment needed, along with quotations and an expected completion date.
